The Glenlivet 1973 Cellar Collection

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 97 Points

This is an amazing malt, with a nose full of figs, hazelnut, and vanilla with just a touch of oak. The taste is extraordinarily smooth and oily, with muted cinnamon, vanilla, and dark chocolate. The 4 S’s describe the finish: spicy, soft, smooth and subtle. A true classic!
