The Glenlivet 21 Year Sample Collection

The Glenlivet 21-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a fine example of patience and craft. Every drop has aged for at least 21 years. It is made at The Glenlivet Distillery, one of Scotland’s best-known names. The distillery sits in Speyside. This region is famous for smooth, fruity single malts that whisky fans love.

This bottle is part of The Sample Room Collection. It stands out for its triple cask finish. That means it spends time in three kinds of cask for extra depth. The first are first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, which add richness. Next come Cognac casks made from Tronçais oak, which bring warm spice. Last are vintage Colheita port casks (port from a single harvest year). These add depth and a gentle sweetness.

It is bottled at 43% ABV. You'll find it in 700ml bottles abroad and 750ml in the U.S. The long aging builds on The Glenlivet’s smooth, fruity house style. On the nose you get caramelised pear and juicy peach. Cinnamon and nutmeg add spice. The palate is fruity and spicy. Think dried apricot, sultanas and chocolate-coated ginger. The finish is long and rich, with warming spice. Pour it neat or with a few drops of water. It’s a special bottle for any lover of fine Scotch whisky.
