Glenlivet 1963

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail

ABV: 40.6%

Score: 96 Points

Part of the Private Collection Decades series, this malt was aged in a first-fill American oak hogshead. The nose has soft fruits, mainly mango and papaya, along with a touch of cocoa. The taste is fresh, vibrant, and fruity with peaches and a touch of honey underneath. The finish is long and honey-sweet with hints of vanilla and lavender. Outstanding!
