Glenlivet 21 Year Old The Sample Room Collection Scotch Whisky

This exquisite 21-year-old single malt from the Glenlivet Sample Room Collection is a refined, deeply layered expression—matured under the hallmark house style then finished in premium first-fill casks that enhance complexity and finesse. It’s a beautifully balanced Scotch for sipping, collecting, or marking a special occasion.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Hailing from the renowned Glenlivet Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, this whisky begins its life in classic American oak ex-bourbon barrels, followed by an exceptional triple-cask finish: first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, first-fill Tronçais oak cognac casks, and first-fill vintage Colheita port casks. The “Sample Room Collection” is the creative arm of The Glenlivet house where cask experiments and flavour innovations are carried out, making this 21-year old a product of tradition plus creative maturation.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Rich aromas of caramelised pears and juicy peaches, supported by warming nutmeg and fragrant cinnamon. There is also a fine undertone of brown sugar, honeyed cereal and toasted oak.

• Palate: Complex and fruity, with layers of dried apricots, sultanas, and chocolate-coated ginger. The finish from the cognac cask adds subtle spice, while port influences bring dark berry richness and sherry adds depth.

• Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering spice and fruit, refined oak tannins and a warming, satisfying after-taste.
