Tasting Notes
Imagine a warm summer day, where the scent of freshly baked pastries dances in the air, mingling with the sweetness of green apples and the tantalizing aroma of pear drops. This is the captivating nose of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old - Illicit Still, a whisky that pays homage to its rebellious origins. As you take your first sip, a honeyed porridge embraces your palate, accompanied by the vibrant brightness of green apples and a slow buildup of tangy red berries, hinting at festive spices. The finish is a delightful symphony of flavors, with fried banana notes mingling with drying oaky spices and the waxy allure of citrus peels. This limited edition single malt Scotch whisky, bottled at a robust 48% ABV, offers a delightfully fruity and indulgent experience, transporting you back to the days of illicit distillation and the daring spirit of Glenlivet's founder, George Smith.
