A core expression from Glenlivet comes this 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The Glenlivet distillery is a distillery near Ballindalloch in Moray, Scotland that produces single malt Scotch whisky.
It is the oldest legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet, and the production place of the Scottish whisky of the same name.
A 70cl bottling bought from auction, bottled at 40% ABV presented in a Glenlivet presented presentation box.
Nose: Sweet and creamy vanilla with refreshing pineapple with a touch of cinnamon.
Palate: More fruit, again pineapple and apples with fresh trifle and a creamy citrus hint.
Finish: Long and delicious, fruit continues through to the end with almonds.
