Glenlivet Gordon & MacPhail George & J.G Smith's Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with copper-bronze edges and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Opulent nose of orchard fruit and honeyed sweetness, enriched by sherry's dark warmth. Dried fig and cherry mingle with almond and cocoa, while orange zest adds a citrus lift. A touch of cinnamon and nutmeg threads through silky oak, revealing a polished, velvety depth that hints at a long, refined finish.

Palate

Silky and rich, the palate unfurls sherry-driven sweetness: figs, raisins and orange zest mingle with dark chocolate and vanilla. Creamy toffee and toasted almond weave through warm spices, while polished oak provides structure. A balanced, lingering mouthfeel that coats the tongue with luxurious, contemplative depth.

Finish

An enduring, luxurious finish—warming and nuanced. Dried fruit and orange zest ripple through sherry-soft sweetness, while dark chocolate and toasted oak unfold and linger, settling into a delicate almond note with a subtle peppery warmth.
