Review #182 |
This Old
Malt Cask is from a refill hogshead and 222 bottles were made. It is from cask
no DL 3842. Vanilla and a delicate wood influence in the smell. I get some
hints of marzipan and nuts in the background as well.
A lot more
is going on in the taste but it is still the same things. More wood though and
the vanilla slips more in the background waiting for the finish.
Normally I
love the Old Malt Cask whiskies, but for a 27 year old Glenlivet, it
disappointed a bit. Mostly in the nose and the complexity. Giving it water
doesn’t quite help on my opinion, as I just get some stronger alcohol notes. I
will give this 86/100 (21/21/21/21).
