  1. MaltMartin scored this whisky 90 points Connoisseur

    Had the pleasure to taste several of these ancient Glenlivet drams before and they all have the same sort of fragile but delicious profile. Unfortunately not the be found in modern whisky.
    • Nose
      Old skool nose with beeswaxed furniture and gentle fruitiness of apricots, oranges, and mandarins. Followed by floral notes of lilac, heather and camomile. Oaky influences of cedar wood. Clearly, some 'stimorol' chewing gum menthol in the background.
    • Taste
      Now more on dried figs and dates mixed with waxy paraffin. Vanilla and cream toffee. Acacia honey. Later on hints of milk chocolate. Toasted almonds. Touch of caramel as well. It's a bit thin on the palate but still many subtle layers to discover here.
    • Finish
      Medium long. Cinnamon. Light spices of white pepper and ginger. Quite some woody notes at the end.
