The Glenlivet 25 Year Old is a Speyside single malt finished in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Tronçais oak casks previously used for cognac, a pairing that sets it apart from more conventional sherry-only finishes. The dual finish gives it a fruit-forward, spiced character built on 25 years of base maturation. It suits someone who already knows Glenlivet’s younger core range and wants to see what the added age and cognac cask influence bring.
CHARACTER
Orange Peel: zest on the nose, blood orange on the palate

TASTING NOTES
