The Glenlivet Master Distiller’s Reserve Solera Vatted Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Speyside, Scotland (1L)

DISTILLER’S NOTES:

Spending time in the Solera Vat is what gives this expression in the signature The Glenlivet Master Distillers Reserve range its truly exceptional character. Alan Winchester, our Master Distiller, first triple cask matures the spirit in traditional oak, American first-fill and ex-sherry casks. He then selects the best of these casks to transfer to the Solera Vat. The vat, which is never emptied, creates a rich whisky that develops in intensity and complexity every year. The high concentration of first-fill American oak adds creaminess, soft fudge and vanilla to the spirit. But its the nose that grabs you it bursts with the smell of ripe orchard fruits alongside gentle caramel notes. Its luxurious to taste, with a honeyed sweetness and the distinct presence of juicy pears. Its a whisky thats packed with flavor. The Master Distillers Reserve collection is a rare treat, only available in Travel Retail.
