Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 43%vol

The Glenlivet 21 Year Old is produced in small, bespoke batches. Each cask is nosed and approved, making every batch unique. A sizable inventory of whisky of this age is extremely rare and only the best are selected for this expression. The complex combination of cask types imparts richness, intensity and a long finish to the whisky.

It is the most oaky and least floral of the range. But age and a particular selection of casks has achieved a distinguished maturity, almost intimidating. Sherry notes give additional depth to the distillery character and a cakey sweetness. Aromas are perfectly melted, especially when The Glenlivet 21 Year Old is enjoyed without water. Wood is well integrated but firmly frames the aromatic palette. A very special dram to enjoy with dark chocolate and let pleasure linger late in the night.

“...the ‘Sean Connery’ of whiskies – mature, sexy, rich, and debonair. Savour it after a long and successful day. Just don’t rush the experience.”
John Hansell, Malt Advocate Magazine

“A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.”
Wallace Milroy, The Original Malt Whisky Almanac

Colour:	Amber with sparkling copper shades
Nose:	Without water: Opulent, mature. Sherry influence. An intricate array of fruit and wood. Christmas cake-like. Sultanas. Maraschino Cherry. Thick-cut marmalade. Oak panels in an old church. A cedary touch. Balsamic spices. Cubèbe pepper. A hint of eucalyptus. Tropical hardwood. Oak soon gives way to malty notes. Fruit and fibre cereal bowl. Toasted granary bread. Citrussy freshness. Orange and kumquat peel. Some cakey notes. A reminder of Grand Marnier soufflé. With water: Water enlightens the fruity bouquet and brings out vanilla notes. Lighter notes of ripe peaches. Pear and marzipan pie. Luscious barley sugar aromas.
Palate:	Without water: Unctuous. Mouth-coating, almost syrupy. Full-bodied. Sultana cake. Ginger biscuits. Oak holds the reins back, releasing a drying spiciness. Cinnamon and ginger. A touch of hot paprika. Walnut and raisins dark chocolate. With water: More sweetness but wood and fruit are not so well integrated. A watery gap at mid-palate. And a bitter note in the finish. Bare oakiness shows up a little blatantly.
Finish:	Everlasting, warming. Nutty. Toasted hazelnuts. A full layer of liquorice.

Coloured with caramel.

Producer: Glenlivet Distillery, Ballindalloch, Banffshire, AB37 9DB, Scotland
