Glenlivet Groundbreaker Chapter 1: The Journey Inward, 40%

Price: 100 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.
