Intro:
This is a release from Signatory Vintages UCF line. It is a 9yr Glenlivet that has been fully matured in First Fill sherry casks (type unknown).
-
Nose:
Sweet wine, marzipan, honey, sweet syrupy sherry notes. More caramel, toffee, honey than stewed fruits. Super sweet with a faint tinge of tobacco. Honey dew.
-
Taste:
Thin / medium mouthfeel. Apples and pears, honey, toffee and vanilla. Marzipan, almonds, caramel and faint raspberries.
-
Finish:
Medium, sweet with some tobacco, pepper and bready cake notes. Really toffee forward with some faint sulfur.
-
Overall:
This is really nice but a hair thin and really one trick in the sweet vanilla, bread, pears dimension. It does really resemble Glenlivet character though, without tons of sherry character to influence it.
