1973 Signatory Vintage Glenlivet 25 Year Old Cask 3307 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Like Glen Grant, Glenlivet has a reputation for handling age well. Sixty to seventy years is not out of the question. This deeply coloured cask strength edition was drawn from single sherry cask No.3307 and bottled by Signatory vintage in 1998 at 57.2% Alc./Vol. The outturn was 570 bottles.

Other reviews... Nose: heavy sherry, GlenDronach-style. Raisins, figs, some orange peel. Quite oaky, with peppery notes, menthol and eucalyptus, as well as bit of smoke. Hints of cedar and pine needles. Mouth: the mentholated hints now become frankly medicinal, bringing cough syrup and antiseptics. Also big toasted wood and ashes. Charred meat. Walnut cake, bitter chocolate and plums in brandy. Oak polish, pepper and nutmeg. Quite firm, even a little aggressive but water helps. Finish: long, herbal, with liquorice and burnt sugar. This Glenlivet has seen some very active wood, inducing a bold, medicinal profile with lots of dry notes. Impressively powerful, almost too much. - whiskynotes.be
