About This Whisky
Distilled in 1983 and bottled in 2003, this Cellar Collection release is a 19-year-old Glenlivet finished in French oak.
It was bottled at 46% ABV.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Toffee, caramel and roasted nuts, with raisin, orange and a hint of coffee.
- Palate: Round and fairly dry, showing baked apple, mocha, clove and fine-grained oak tannin.
- Finish: Medium length, spicy and a touch bitter, like strong black tea.
Serving & Food
Serve neat at 18 to 20°C in a nosing glass, with a small jug of water nearby in case the oak needs softening. It suits roast duck with orange, walnut bread and blue cheese, or coffee-dusted truffles.
Good to Know
What does French oak add? Spice and a nutty, toffee depth.
