Nose Heavy on the prunes and with more than a suggestion of Christmas cake; this is classic sherry cask Glenlivet. After the initial heat, this cask-strength whisky becomes lighter with forest floor aromas.
Palate Supple dried fruits and baked brambley apples in a sweet but slightly spicy palate.
Finish Sultanas and currants take the final bow for this dram.
Overall Cask-strength single cask Glenlivet with lots of sherry influence. Maybe a little strong for some so consider adding water to open up the lighter notes.
