The Glenlivet 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
The Glenlivet 40 Year Old is a strictly limited Speyside single malt matured for at least 40 years in carefully selected American and European oak casks at the historic Glenlivet distillery, founded in 1824. Four decades of patient maturation produces an extraordinarily concentrated, deeply layered spirit.
Strictly limited and individually numbered. Master Distiller Alan Winchester's personal selection from the distillery's deepest reserves.
A definitive collector's single malt — best enjoyed neat to fully honour four decades of maturation.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Profoundly aromatic — caramelised dried fruit, antique leather, dark chocolate, vanilla, polished oak, gentle smoke, and warm baking spice — extraordinarily mature and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Velvety and concentrated — dark caramel, dried fig, sherried oak, dark cocoa, leather, espresso, gentle smoke, and warm spice — full-bodied with the depth that only forty years can deliver.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering dried fruit, dark caramel, sherried oak, gentle leather, and a slow warming spice depth fading gracefully — sophisticated and unforgettable.
