Glenlivet 1983 / 20 Year Old / French Oak Finish Speyside Whisky

March 4, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glenlivet 1983 / 20 Year Old / French Oak Finish Speyside Whisky

70cl / 46% / Distillery Bottling – A frequently-overlooked bottle in Glenlivet’s Cellar Collection, perhaps as it remains one of the year oldungest of the series (even at 20 years old). This is sterling stuff, nonetheless, described by Jim Murray as ‘sophistication and attitude rolled into one’. With the finish adding nuance rather than dominating the palate, this is a minor classic of the genre..
