- Description
- This 1973 vintage bottled by independent bottler Wilson & Morgan in 1995 spent 21 years developing the textural complexity that separates great old Glenlivets from the ordinary. The classic apple, floral, and nutty character anchors the palate while unexpected layers of resin, soy sauce, and leather emerge, suggesting a cask with considerable previous character. At 46%, the spirit shows power without aggression, with a long, savoury finish. For those seeking Glenlivet's elegant signature reinterpreted through time and wood.
