Glenlivet Scotch Fusion Cask 750ml

Description

There are a couple of points to clarify here, none of which takes away from this single malt’s unique character. Just a portion of the whisky in the blend is finished in these special casks, not the entirety of the liquid. And the casks were created by interchanging heads—putting rum barrel heads on bourbon barrels, and bourbon barrel heads on rum barrels—as opposed to building new casks using both types of staves. Still, the effects are pronounced and the whisky is quite good, with a strong honey flavor on the nose that follows onto the palate, along with notes of brown sugar, tropical fruit, vanilla, espresso, and spice.
