The Glenlivet Archive 21 Year offers deep multi-layered flavors and a creamy texture that can only be attained over years of patient ageing. This aging and a meticulous selection of casks (aged a minimum of 21 years and as old as 40 years) achieve a distinguished maturity that is almost intimidating. Aromas of aged oak, leather, ripe fruit, and toffee that are both deep and well balanced. Its flavors are rich with notes of toffee and roasted nuts with a long, spicy, woody finish.
