Glenlivet 14 Year Old Cognac Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)
WA
Whisky Advocate
A new addition to Glenlivet’s core range, this single malt was aged in bourbon and sherry casks and partially finished in cognac casks. From now through December 31, Glenlivet will donate $1 from every bottle sold at participating retailers to the Purple Heart Foundation. Cognac cask finishes are slowly growing in popularity, although they’re tricky to pull off, requiring a delicate touch. While Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve has used cognac casks in its maturation, it’s not available in the U.S. This 14 year old—exclusively for sale in the U.S.—should make up for that.

Notes
From the producer: "The Glenlivet 14YO is no ordinary single malt. Aged for 14 years, this groundbreaking whisky is matured in bourbon and sherry casks before being finished in the highest quality ex-cognac casks for at least 6 months. This finish brings a uniquely rich and intense flavor to the iconic fruity and floral style of The Glenlivet. Taste: Succulent flavors of mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate-dipped raisins. Nose: Bursting with sweet and fruity aromas. Rich in honey and apricot jam, with notes of sweet cinnamon bread and a subtle sensation of spicy liquorice. Finish: incredibly smooth, luscious and satisfyingly long."
