Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Glenlivet 1954

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail

ABV: 50.6%

Score: 96 Points

Part of the Private Collection Decades release of Glenlivet single casks, this was aged in a first-fill sherry hogshead. The dry and dusty nose has notes of raisins, plums, figs and dates. The taste is sweet, but still spicy with a great balance of orange peel, cinnamon, and plums. The finish is long and dry with notes of red wine and sawdust. Complex and fascinating!
