Glenlivet 26 Year Old 1998 Single Cask - Masterpiece (Master of Malt)
Floral, malty, and complex, this marvellous single malt from Glenlivet joins our own Master of Malt collection. Distilled in 1998, the whisky enjoyed a generous 26 years maturing in a single bourbon barrel, allowing a medley of rich sweetness and spice to develop. Without added colour or chill filtration, a release of just 99 bottles. Do you want a flake with that?
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lemon drizzle cake, honey fudge, and buttery fruit pastries, a touch of raspberry, with hints of citrus blossom, vanilla, and butterscotch.
Palate
A medley of rich, fruity sweetness and warming woody spices gathers. Robust notes of toffee pennies and syrup-soaked apricots give way to a wave of pepper and nutmeg, doused by yet more caramel sweetness, apple candies, and robust malt.
Finish
Long and satisfying with brown sugar, apple loaf, rich oak, buttery notes of bourbon and toffee popcorn, with gently drying earthy spice on the tail.
