Glenlivet Groundbreaker Chapter 1: The Journey Inward, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Matured in American and European oak before being finished in charred American oak and European oak red wine casks, the nose has red currant, glacé cherry, Szechuan peppercorn, Red Vines, and apple. Gently paced with subtle flavors of red apple, fudge sweetness, damson, more Red Vines, and a tingle of pepper. It finishes with hints of honey, creamy vanilla, and oak char.
