Product Description
A single cask 1981 vintage Glenlivet, selected by the team here at The Whisky Exchange and bottled exclusively for us by indie bottler Signatory Vintage. We chose a sister cask of this whisky last year and the extra months of maturation have made this one even better. The classic fruity Glenlivet character runs through the dram, with the cask adding gentle spice and rich, rounded sweetness. Whiskyfun's Serge Valentin scored it 89/100, picking out notes of 'figs, dates, raisins, Christmas cake, dried bananas, dried pears and milk chocolate'.

Tasting Notes
Tasting notes by Billy A
Nose
Barley sugar, light fruit cake, salted caramel, poached apples and pears, Demerara sugar, flapjacks and hints of honeysuckle.
Palate
Lots of cream and grain to start, with orchard fruit bursting through the middle after a few moments. Darker notes develop and sit around the sides of the palate – sweet liquorice and stewed fruit – with cinnamon spice and crunchy apples building down the centre.
Finish
Apple and spice to start, fading to creamy apple sauce and a lingering hint of anise.
Comment
A sweet and fruity dram which has a well-balanced spiciness. Perfectly aged, with the cask allowing the orchard fruit character of Glenlivet to shine through.
