Glenlivet 21 year oldÂ
Distilleerderij: Glenlivet
Categorie: Single Malt
Age: 21 year oldÂ
Vat Type: Ex- Bourbon American Oak & finished in Sherry oak casks
Strength: 43%
Volume: 70 clÂ
Colour: pale amber.
Nose: typical Glenlivet, mildly sherried and rather nutty and toasted, with hints of wood smoke. Chocolate cake, Seville oranges and just a little tar. Moderately expressive but very nicely balanced. Gets rather grassier and nuttier after a few minutes with also hints of green bananas and maybe a faint flintiness. Very nice, slightly shy whisky.
Mouth: more character than on the nose, with a rather nervous attack on malt and coffee, with oranges and cinnamon in the background. Goes on more or less on the same notes. Roasted nuts.
Finish: medium long but perfectly balanced, roasted, with quite some bitter chocolate in the aftertaste. A little green tea as well.
