- Description
- The Glenlivet's classic Speyside profile—honey, orchard fruit, vanilla—deepens dramatically after 28 years across ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso casks. The oloroso influence adds dark fruit, toffee, and gentle spice while the initial bourbon ageing provides structure. Rich, warm, and complex, it represents patient cask management and represents premium single cask Speyside.
