The nose is quite full and rich. There are notes of sandalwood and pine with a resinous note. Potpourri creeps in with barley sugar and cereal notes with acacia honey. The palate is rich and full. There are notes of oily walnuts and winter fruitcake with spice and sugar. There is a golden syrup note. The finish is long and sweet with a soft, chewy oak.

I have a few different brands and this is a very good drink.l have one or two glasses a week.
I had this at a party with other scotch lovers. The after notes are amazing. An absolutely beautiful nose and over amazing bottle.
I have been lucky enough to have shared 6 bottles of this great whiskey with my friends. Im not an expert in any way but always savour this special drop and save to buy one everytime one of lifes milestone comes along. I splashed on the 25yr old on an overseas trip and have great memories of that but its this 21 I would love to afford every day.
Last Xmas I recieved a bottle of 18 yr. old Macallan. This year it was the Glenlivet 21. A side by side comparison was in order. The results; Macallan is very smooth, finish medium long with a milder taste. Very easy to drink for a non-scotch taster. Glenlivet has a more pronounced taste which I prefer. The finish is just as long and just as smooth. It wasn't the first choice for the non-scotch crowd but was for those who abide. Winner; Glenlivet by a dram.
I usually drink the 18yr old Glenlivet but when i was travelling I splashed out on this 21yr old. It is worth the extra money - thank you for such a nice dram.
