The Glenlivet Caskmakers 70cl

The Glenlivet Caskmakers is a beautifully crafted single malt that pays homage to the traditions of the Speyside region, where it was first established. This expression offers a unique glimpse into the art of maturation, as it is carefully aged in a combination of American oak and European oak casks. These cask types impart a rich, well-balanced flavor profile that showcases both sweetness and complexity.

On the nose, The Glenlivet Caskmakers offers inviting aromas of vanilla, fresh fruit, and subtle spice, with hints of honey and a light, floral character. The palate is smooth and rich, with layers of caramelized fruit, toffee, and a delicate oak spice. The influence of the European oak adds a slight warmth and depth to the whisky, balancing the sweetness from the American oak. There’s a gentle nuttiness and hints of dried fruit that linger throughout the tasting experience.

The finish is smooth and satisfying, with a gentle sweetness, light spice, and a subtle oakiness that lingers on the tongue, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and refinement. The Glenlivet Caskmakers is a wonderful expression that reflects the distillery’s craftsmanship, offering a whisky that is both approachable and complex.
