A super-premium entry in Glenlivet's range, this has been finished for a couple of years in Oloroso casks - so an extra depth of flavour and silky sweetness is the order of the day.
"The Oloroso Sherry influence meshes beautifully with The Glenlivet’s signature sweet, floral, honey and malt notes, giving a nutty spiciness and quite intensely fruity palate, with raisins to the fore. The finish embraces steadily drying oak. A rich, complex and satisfying after dinner dram." Gavin D. Smith, Whisky-Pages.com. Web-Exclusive Price!

drinking this was an intriguing experience...I was reminded very strongly of amantillado, no doubt due to the sherry casks. it took a good while for this whiskey to grow on me...my only other super-premium experience was with JW Blue. At length, though, this whiskey grew on me...wonderful play of flavors, mostly based on the sherry, and an absolutely luxuriant finish :)

IS THE GLENLIVET XX5 A COLLECTIBLE WHISKY AND WHAT WOULD IT BE WORTH NOW
- anonymous, 6th Jan '10
The first time I tried the 18 year old I knew that was the scotch for me... then I tried the 25. Hands down the most perfect sipper I've had to date...

I was actually a little disappointed. Tastes like Glen Livet, nice and smooth, but the finish is very, very short.
