Glenlivet The Sample Room Collection 25 year old, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Beyond the complicated maturation of first and second-fill barrels, hogsheads, and butts, this whisky has been finished in PX and Tronçais oak cognac casks. Inky plums, aromatic roasted spice, stewed fruits, citrus peel, and cedarwood mark out a luxurious medley of aromas. Spectacularly jammy with thick sherry notes, damsons, cinnamon, dried fruit, ginger spices, apricot, and toasted oak with each sip. Who's got the cigars?
