Signatory Single Cask Glenlivet 13YR (Cask #900268)

This has to be one of the more harmonious pairings of a Sherry cask with a whisky. Despite spending all of its 13 years in a 1st Fill Sherry Barrel, the distinct Glenlivet character shines front and center, with Sherry acting as a partner, accentuating certain elements and introducing some novel others. You are taken on a long, evolving journey beginning at confectionary sweets, passing through a cornucopia of berries, stone fruit, and spices, then landing in an earthy semi-sweet place recalling pairings of dark chocolate and fine cordials. All the while a bright, rather clean, traditionally Glenlivet character forms the backbone around which these other flavors are explored.

Here is a bottle that introduces a whole new depth to a known distillery without abandoning the character that’s made it the top selling Single Malt in America. If you’re a fan of Glenlivet, or find yourself enjoying malts that lean into the spiced side of sherry (like those from the likes of Dalmore, Glenfarclas, Glendronach, and Tamdhu), then you will find this Single Cask offering to be your new whisky obsession.
