Glenlivet Unblended All Malt Scotch Whisky (1970's Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep, warm amber-gold with a coppery glow and subtle mahogany undertones.

Nose

Orchard fruits—ripe pear and apple—rise with citrus zest, while soft vanilla and honeyed malt provide sweetness. Subtle oak and a whisper of almond add quiet elegance to this 12-year-old Glenlivet, clean, lightly creamy, and inviting.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a warm sherry heartbeat. Dried fruit lead—raisin, fig and date—brightened by orange zest and apple peel. Toasted almond, toffee and a whisper of cocoa weave through spice and oak. Velvet mouthfeel, with a long, nutty finish accented by citrusy brightness and subtle warmth.

Finish

Long and refined, this finish slowly unfolds from toasted malt and honey toward rich dried fruit and sherry-tinted oak. Raisin, fig and a wisp of vanilla linger, while subtle spice keeps the palate alive. Silky and persistent, fading to almond-nut warmth and polished oak for a lingering, elegant conclusion.
