A new super-premium to Glenlivet's ongoing range, this was distilled in 1980 and finished for a couple of years in Oloroso casks - so an extra depth of flavour and silky sweetness is the order of the day. ''The Oloroso Sherry influence meshes beautifully with The Glenlivet's signature sweet, floral, honey and malt notes, giving a nutty spiciness and quite intensely fruity palate, with raisins to the fore. The finish embraces steadily drying oak. A rich, complex and satisfying after dinner dram.''
-Gavin D. Smith, Whisky-Pages.com.
''Finished in first-fill sherry casks for two years. My feeling on any whisky finished in a different cask is this: it should give as much to the flavor profile as it takes away. In this instance, I feel it has, and more. It's not as nimble as younger versions, but the sherry, along with the extra aging, contributes a silky texture and a richer, fuller dimension to the whisky. I can still detect some of the peach, vanilla, tropical fruit, and honeyed malt I enjoy in younger expressions, but its key flavor components are toffee, honey-dipped citrus, red licorice, chocolate-covered almonds, and fig, along with dried spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, mint tea) that emerges on the palate and peaks on the finish. The flavors are seamless and elegantly balanced.''

''Dark copper color. Compact aromas caramelized whole nut, molasses, and spicy dried fruit chutney follow through on a very soft entry to a dry-yet-fruity, oily medium body with anise,brown sugar, and pepper spice notes. Finishes with an exotic peppercorn, roasted grain, and cocoa accented fade. Elegant and deliciously styled.''
