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.

If you like the Aberlour16 your going to like this . In fact I think its a bit better. Tbis is as sweet, but more oily , so the after taste goes on for longer. Right now ( December 2018) the supermarkets are doing it for £35 , a bargain , best whisky around for this money , it tastes a much richer whisky, in flavour and in cost ...
Cognac good finish
Not a bad whisky, however I find the finish to be too thin. It's easy to drink, accessible for people new to scotch, but there is no depth to it. Will drink it, but I will probably not buy again. Get an Aberfeldy 12 instead.
Robust, not a traditional Glenlivet. Benefits well from a splash of water. Full of character, a good end-of-day dram.
Does not work, Cognac cask taste out of place, disappointing.
