a bit of pineapple on the nose, and a bit of pepper in the finish. This is a bit different 'Livet. I quite like it. Nothing stunning, just a good solid dram that makes me thing of sitting in the guardians library at Glenlivet.

Nose:
Ooooemph! that's an very very good nose. Very Glenlivet-y. There is some green apples in there, load of other fruits, like plums. There is indeed an hint of the sherry barrels they' ve been using. But there is also quite some wood influence. With water and some time it gives some wood shavings and more caramel. It is a splendid nose!

Taste:
Sweet, caramel, fudge, then fruity it tastes quite mature given this is a NAS. With water it gets a bit weaker. But still quite some bourbon influences.

Body:
Smooth as silk.

Finish:
Medium-long length. Very mature bourbon barrel influences, so quite some caramel, vanilla en wood. There are not many tannins in here. At the end of the finish there is some sherry cask influence.

Price:
Don't know, this was a given sample

Comments:
Well done Glenlivet!

The nose is very promising. The finish has too much bitterness in it, however it improved a bit over time. 

It´s a very drinkable dram but not worth the price.
