Tasting notes
The oldest permanent expression from their distillery to date, The Glenlivet 40 Year Old. Finished in custom casks seasoned with a bespoke blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherries. An impressive depth of flavour with rich notes of poached plums and charred orange, dark cherries, warming spice and braised red apples. The finish is rewardingly long and sweet.
