House Review

Intro:
This is a Signatory Vintage release of Glenlivet distillate that has been aged in a first fill sherry cask for 20 years. It is bottled at cask strength and received no filtering or coloring.
Nose:
Cocoa, butter, pipe tobacco. Jammy fruits, toffee.
Taste:
Thick and rich, but lots of heat. Toffee, tobacco, cream. Stone fruits, jammy, rich sherry. Plums, figs, cherries. Sulfur and pepper.
Finish:
Long, some heat. Sulfur, pepper, tobacco, cream, cocoa and sherry. Grows bitter.
Overall:
Super rich but a bit too much sulfur. I think I really prefer the 12-16 year releases of these Glenlivets in FF Sherry. This was still good, but couldn't reach as high as some of the others.
Score:
6
