1999 Glenlivet, Cask Ref. 9090, BB&R Exclusive Cask, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (54.2%)

Description

Upon first nosing, the immense quality of this distillery shines through – very few distilleries shine as brightly as Glenlivet at its impeccable finest. It opens with sweet citrus and marshmallows, pear drops, and passion fruit notes peeking out of the nose of this single-cask whisky. This cask was chosen because the vanilla and creaminess of the wood seemed in delicious harmony with the apricot, pear and apple from the spirit. It is a veritable fruit bowl of whisky; the only savoury notes appear on the finish, exactly where I want them to be. On top of this, there’s shortbread and crystalised ginger, ensuring immense moreishness overall.

About this spirit

Glenlivet Distillery Speyside

The Glenlivet Distillery has been founded by George Smith, while his son John Gordon Smith assisted and succeeded him has a long-established reputation for making subtle, elegant and flowery Malt Whisky.  This famous Speyside distillery by the glen of Livet, which flows in to the mighty river Spey, was the first licensed operation in Scotland when the legal production of whisky was first introduced in 1823. The company remained independent until 1935, merged with Glen Grant in 1952 and was acquired by Seagram in 1977, which was eventually succeeded by the Pernod-Ricard group in 2001.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
