House Review
-
Intro:
Distilled in 2006 and matured for 12 years in a first fill sherry butt, this bottling from Glenlivet was bottled by Signatory Vintage at cask strength without coloring or filtering.
-
Nose:
Sweet cream, tons of black currant, melon, blueberry and fig. Some faint oak and honey.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouth feel, a bit of heat. Sweet berry notes from the sherry influence. A bit of malt, fig, honey. Not bonkers complex.
-
Finish:
Moderate, hot finish - sherry reigns supreme here once more but the proof is a bit more aggressive than it should be.
-
Overall:
While nice, there are Signatory bottlings from Glenlivet that are similar in age and more poised in execution.
