While not reaching the level of a 'barrel sherry,' it has a strong sherry character with notable notes of plum and apricot jams, orange, chocolate, and caramel. The graininess is felt from the depth. When tasted, it still has a strong sherry character with a rich jam-like sweetness, but the graininess is also surprisingly well-defined, with its umami characteristics. No off-flavors were detected, and it feels like it was properly filled. As always, it's difficult to identify the distillery blindfolded, but considering the vintage, it has a good sherry character. It's a Glenlivet with a firmly but not overpowering sherry presence, and due to the added water, it's a pleasant drink that can be enjoyed with ease.
