Glenlivet 'Caribbean Reserve' Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glenlivet 'Caribbean Reserve' Single Malt Scotch WhiskyA tropical expression from The Glenlivet, for Caribbean Reserve a portion of the whisky was finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. The distillery folks suggest adding a splash of coconut water, though we reckon a malty twist on a Mai Tai is on the cards! Nose: Honeyed orchard fruit, tinned pear and fried banana. Palate: Ripe tropical fruit and brown sugar, along with cinnamon pastries. Finish: Pineapple upside down cake.

The white flowers and ginger lead into a creamy mid-palate with a silky textural finish

an explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate

A rich and full blend of Shiraz

It velvety smooth and round on your palate with a great long persistence

It is a soft wine that leaves an intense sensation of fruits and freshness on the finish

The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot

Pale lemon in colour

Aged for a little bit longer and bottled a little stronger for a more concentrated

The combination of steady heat and well-drained clay loam soils in our Allomi Vineyard allows fruit to ripen evenly

Bubbles are full textured and persistent

A creamy and fresh white that has aromas of apricots

Aberfeldy's main claim to fame is at the heart of the excellent Dewar's blend but whiskies like this are putting it firmly in the spotlight
