An intriguing release from The Glenlivet, been finished in ex-Cognac casks for a ‘raisin-rich’ intensity, along with citrus notes and a creamy smoothness. Whisky finished in Cognac casks is not a common thing, so we're particularly interested in this expression. The name comes from Captain William Smith Grant, great-grandson of George Smith, Glenlivet’s founder.
Bursting with sweet and fruity aromas. Rich in honey and apricot jam, with notes of sweet cinnamon bread and a subtle sensation of spicy liquorice.
Succulent flavours of mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate-dipped raisins.
Incredibly smooth and luscious.
Very nice indeed, came upon this by 'accident' a lovely satisfying drink
Very easy drinking, beautiful colour, flavour of the cask really comes through, highly recommended with a drop of water, good all rounder
A much loved whiskey of a very high calibre. Can’t wait to get to grips with this brand.
Odd. Not sure the flavors marry very well. Slightly watery.
A well rounded and smooth whiskey. I definitely pick up the honey notes running through...
