The Glenlivet 12 Year Old
This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world- deservedly so.” Representing The Glenlivet's signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it's distinctive smoothness. The mineral-rich water that comes from Josie's Well helps form the flavours during mashing and fermentation, whilst the specific height and width of the copper stills add a delicate yet complex character. Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion.

Nose: Apricot, pineapple, greengages, citrus blossom and toasted teacake.
Palate: Buttery and vanilla-rich, though still packing all the bright fruit notes from the nose.
Finish: A soft crackle of oaky spice and malt, plus a hint of red apple juiciness.

Glen Scotia Double Cask
When it comes to whisky, double cask offers a robust flavour profile that makes it a truly sensational sipping experience. Matured in the finest first-fill American oak barrels before being finished for up to 12 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This outstanding single malt whisky provides the perfect balance of rich spicy fruits overlaid with the characteristic sea spray and vanilla oak finish for which the house of Glen Scotia is famous.

Nose: Very sweet. Initially, it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time, a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness. Has some power.
Palate: Sweet start and quite fat. Though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz, the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is still there, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements but adds some dried mint.
Finish: Deep and dark, with gentle spice and lingering peat smoke.
