Glenlivet SMWS Society Cask No. 2.4 Whisky 11 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with warm mahogany undertones and a coppery glow, luminous like sunlight through sherry-stained oak.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma with dark toffee and treacle mingling with dried figs, plums and raisins, underpinned by orange zest. Rich oak, toasted almond, and cocoa dust frame hints of clove and cinnamon, finishing warm and resinous.

Palate

Rich and sherried on the palate, this Glenlivet reveals a wave of dried fruit—raisins, fig, orange zest—woven with velvet almond and cocoa. Spices rise softly: cinnamon and clove, tempered by polished oak. It coats the mouth in a warm, luxurious glow, finishing with coffee-tinted sweetness and a lingering, refined warmth.

Finish

Long, warm finish with indulgent sherry sweetness, dark fig and orange zest, and toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon and clove—linger beside rich cocoa, drawing out the oak while a subtle tobacco note glides into a soft, pleasantly dry fade.
