The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Cognac Cask Selection

The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Cognac Cask Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a ground-breaking and highly innovative Speyside single malt that brings a unique twist to a historic distillery's signature style. It is selectively matured in traditional American oak and Sherry casks for fourteen years before being finished for at least six months in high-quality ex-Cognac casks. This specialized finishing process beautifully layers sweet, fruity, and spicy French cognac influences over the classic, smooth, and floral honeyed character of The Glenlivet. The result is a wonderfully rich, inviting, and highly accessible dram that seamlessly bridges the worlds of Scottish distilling and French cognac craftsmanship.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with rich chocolate-dipped raisins, warm apple pie, baked brie, caramelized pecan tarts, or slow-cooked duck breast with orange glaze.

TASTING NOTES - A bright, rich amber-gold color with a silky, rounded, and mouth-coating texture.

NOSE - Highly aromatic with expressive notes of ripe apricot jam, sweet honey, and orange peel, backed by subtle undertones of light cinnamon, vanilla, and spicy licorice.

PALATE - Rich and sweet on the tongue, showing lush flavors of poached pears, canned mandarins, and milk chocolate, interwoven with toasted oak, toffee, and a delicate touch of spice.

FINISH - Long, smooth, and exceptionally clean, resolving with lingering notes of dark fruit, sweet cocoa, and a gentle warmth of oak wood.

SERVE - Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass or Glencairn to appreciate its complex nose, or with a tiny splash of cool spring water to open up the citrus and spice layers.
