Glenlivet George Smith's Original 1824 Whisky (1990's Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with warm copper undertones and a honey-bronze sheen.

Nose

Sherry-influenced bouquet of dark fruit—raisin, fig and spiced cherry—woven with toasted almond and clove. Honeyed vanilla and creamy malt lend elegance, while orange zest brightens the middle palate. Subtle cocoa and warming oak round out a rich, velvety aroma.

Palate

Silky and balanced on the palate, this Glenlivet offers orchard fruit sweetness shadowed by sherry influence. Creamy vanilla and almond mingle with warming spice and toasted oak, with a touch of dark chocolate. Raisin and orange zest lift mid-palate, finishing long with refined, nutty dryness and a subtle, silky warmth.

Finish

Silky, medium-long finish that lingers with dark dried fruits—raisin and fig—woven with cocoa and coffee. Toasted almond adds nutty depth, while cinnamon and clove give a gentle spice. A soft sherry sweetness fades into polished oak, leaving a refined, lingering warmth.
