The Glenlivet 25 year old XXV single malt is aged in oak casks and finished in Oloroso sherry butts for the final few years of maturation creating a deeper flavour and silky sweetness for the whiskey. It is the perfect tribute to the skill and judgement of the craftsmen involved in making this special whisky. The sherry casks provide luscious fruity and spicy notes, while enticing scents of exotic wood, orange and crème brulee. The palate is sweet at first, releasing a full bunch of spices, including ginger, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.
