[Good/Very Good] This is a new release Glenlivet 1988, 25 year old from Cadenhead's gold label. There is a sense of concentrated fruitiness with a heated, intense character in both aroma and flavor, as well as the umami of barley. It has the boldness typical of cask strength, and a rich, full-bodied flavor that left a good impression. Although labeled as Bourbon Hogshead, it is not the typical showy bourbon cask style that has become common in recent years. Instead, it is a type where the barrel character enhances thickness and depth. #Glenlivet (GLENLIVET)
