1990’s The Glenlivet 12 year Old In presentation tube

Nose: Dry and rather smoky one at first nosing. Overripe apples, hay, cigars and walnuts, grains, toasted oak, roasted nuts, straight malt and honey cake. Easy and light.

Mouth: Big stuff, much bigger than contemporary Glenlivet twelves. Tart apples, grapefruit skin, candy sugar, plus these metallic touches again. Apple crumble and strong tea after a few minutes.

Finish: Long and ample, almost heavy, with some liquorice and more tea.

Comments: Big spirit of high quality.
