The Glenlivet's Sample Room Collection represents a pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship, showcasing this distillery's mastery of maturation. This 21-year expression has developed remarkable complexity through decades in oak, revealing layers of orchard fruit, honeyed spice, and subtle oak influence. The extended aging process has mellowed the spirit into a sophisticated, well-balanced dram with a silky mouthfeel and lingering finish. A distinguished addition to any serious whisky collection, this bottling exemplifies why The Glenlivet remains a benchmark for quality single malt Scotch whisky.
So well knitted... The most oaky and least floral of the range. But age and a particular selection of casks has achieved a distinguished maturity, almost intimidating. Sherry notes give additional depth to the distillery character and a cakey sweetness. Aromas are perfectly melted, especially when The Glenlivet 21 Year Old is enjoyed without water. Wood is well integrated but firmly frames the aromatic palette. A very special dram to enjoy with dark chocolate and let pleasure linger late in the night. This expression is reputed to contain some whisky up to 40 years old and was matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks. The nose offers overt sherry influences, with fruit malt loaf, maple syrup, honey, and old leather. Full and slightly oily on the rich palate, with toffee, raisins, Brazil nuts, and fresh cake mix. Dusty spices and oak in the relatively dry finish.
