The Glenlivet 14 Year Old

Tasting Notes

The Glenlivet 14 Year Old is a Speyside single malt with a vibrant personality, largely thanks to its cognac cask finish. Think poached pears drizzled with syrup, a handful of chocolate raisins, and a whisper of baking spice on the nose. The initial sip delivers that cognac influence front and center, but it quickly mellows into classic Glenlivet flavors—brown sugar, vanilla, and a hint of crisp apple. It's incredibly smooth and easy-drinking, though the finish is a bit simpler than expected, leaving a pleasant, if slightly astringent, scotch aftertaste. A solid dram for everyday enjoyment, especially if you appreciate the subtle sweetness and fruity depth that cognac casks can impart.
