In der Nase ein Fest der Düfte. Zitrusfrüchte vom Feinsten. Im Mund klassisch fein mit einem tollen Abgangsbouquet.

General description

It is very difficult for me to rate such a quality vintage product, with such a fine pedigree, this low. This is the first >20yr scotch I have tasted. I expected much more. All the beloved distillery notes I love from Glenlivet products are missing. Old musty smoke flavors arrive as the pour airs out in the glass. I am not a big fan of smoke or peat. Smoke over powers other notes. I was also expecting more richness and a more creamier mouth feel. I think the 18 year might be the sweet spot at a much lower price point.(less than half) I just can't abide $300 for this bottle.
