Master of Malt Masterpiece The Glenlivet 26 Year Old 1998 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Master of Malt Masterpiece The Glenlivet 26 Year Old 1998 is an exceptional Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled as part of the Masterpiece Collection. Distilled at The Glenlivet Distillery in October 1998 and matured for 26 years in a single bourbon barrel, this rare expression captures the distillery's elegant fruity and floral character enriched by decades of patient oak maturation. Bottled at a powerful 55.7% ABV, without added colour or chill filtration, it is limited to just 99 bottles worldwide. Its beautifully layered character brings together honeyed pastries, bright citrus, luscious stone fruits, buttery toffee and warming oak spices, making it a remarkable choice for collectors and lovers of mature, single-cask Speyside whisky.

Food Pairing: Pair with aged Comté, mature cheddar, roasted almonds, buttery shortbread or apricot tart. Its honeyed sweetness and bourbon-cask character also complement crème brûlée, caramel desserts, apple pastries and vanilla-infused sweets.

Tasting Notes: A floral, fruit-forward and richly textured Speyside single malt featuring lemon cake, honey fudge, buttery pastries, raspberry, citrus blossom, toffee, syrupy apricots and warming wood spices.

Nose: Inviting aromas of lemon drizzle cake, honey fudge and buttery fruit pastries unfold alongside raspberry, delicate citrus blossom, vanilla and butterscotch.

Palate: Rich fruity sweetness meets warming oak spice, with layers of buttery toffee, syrup-soaked apricots, pepper, nutmeg, caramel, apple candies and robust malt.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering brown sugar, apple loaf, rich oak, buttery bourbon notes, toffee popcorn and gently drying earthy spice.
