Winner of 4 awardsThe Glenlivet
A Gold Medal Winner at the 2005, 2006 and 2007 International Wine & Spirit Competition, the 2002 International Spirits Challenge and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This is a well-regarded 21 year old from Glenlivet.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
I've had a couple of bottles of the Archive 21 and have ordered by the glass in restaurants. Never disappointed. Consistent experience each time; very rich aroma, smooth mixed flavors of fruit, wood, and spice, and a pleasant long-lasting butterscotch/vanilla finish.
This whisky has gone straight to the crapper. Here is the deal - the Bottling is critical. I had two bottles. Opened the first - some off tastes and in the nose. Not drinkable. I complained and provided a replacement. It was modest at best - maybe good at about $40. I have opened by second bottle (Batch 0212J) and it is not half bad - BUT not worth more than $100... There is just too much good whisky out there...
Light nose. Velvet texture. Taste of vanilla, oak and a hint of pine. Sip this one slowly. I'm getting a citrus finish.
I've never asked the price of a glass (neat) when ordering, but I was just charge US$65 for this. Does that sound right to anyone? I loved it, by the way, but I think I can get XXV for less elsewhere.
I am loving it. One of the best.
