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 1980

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail

ABV: 48.5%

Score: 89 Points

Part of the Private Collection Decades series of single-cask Glenlivets and aged in a refill American oak hogshead. The nose is candle wax, slightly sweet and nutty. The taste starts off sweet, then turns peppery before fading to reveal fruity apricot notes that linger into the otherwise long and dry finish with a hint of coconut.
