The Glenlivet Quercus 17 year old £203

“someone has cherry-picked a cracker of a cask” – Jim Murray
(Whisky Bible 2014. Score: 93.5)
Aged only in one cask there are only 250 bottles available worldwide. Nose: Soft, ripe red apples intertwined with baked almonds. Mellow floral notes crescendo into a zesty flourish. Taste: A soft, smooth, creaminess gradually develops until the whisky hints at chewy, sticky toffee. A delicate floral note creeps in, which lingers tantalisingly until a final burst of Seville orange rounds it off. Finish: Long, sweet and very slightly dry.
