1995 Signatory Vintage Glenlivet 19 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

An intriguing bottling from a sherry butt selected by independent bottler, Signatory. 526 bottles available. High praise from Malt Maniac, Serge Valentin.

Other reviews... Colour: dark amber. Nose:... it’s got many grasses and herbal teas. Hay, dog rose, hawthorn, orange blossom… All that on a bed of prunes and raisins that make it a little armagnacky. Plus chalk and fresh cement. After a few minutes, loads and loads of chocolate. With water: tobacco, as almost always. Water very often brings tobacco out of heavy sherried whiskies, in my experience. Mouth (neat): rich, very chocolaty, orangey, with a rather old-school sherry influence, and a salty tartness in the background. A salted Mars bar or something, minus all this deadly sugar. With water: hurray! Fresher, with more orange juice and marmalade. A mineral touch as well, between gunflints and chalk. Finish: quite long, leathery and chocolaty. Leaves your palate relatively clean, which can’t be said all the time. Comments: probably first fill. High quality.
