A pleasant matured Livet, delicious. Glenlivet GLENLIVET 1981-2015 33yo SIGNATORY VINTAGE CASK STRENGTH COLLECTION #9452 52.1% one of 173 bottles, Hogshead The aroma spreads gently with ripe oranges, marmalade, light apple jam, honey, beeswax, pleasant oak, and richness. When drinking, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel that expands into a rich flavor, with viscosity and gradually becoming spicy. The sweetness of orange marmalade and honey is well-balanced, with pleasant oak tightening the flavor, leaving a long finish. [Good/Very Good] New release from Signatory: Glenlivet 1981, 33 years old. The cask wasn't overly dominant, so there was no obvious cask aroma despite the long aging, which left a diverse natural fruity impression. The slightly waxy nuances of beeswax in the aroma were also interesting. When drinking, it had a moderate maturity with some complexity and individuality, but it also had a nice depth as a natural long-aged Speyside malt. #Glenlivet (GLENLIVET)
