Glenlivet 2006 Signatory (Sherry Hoggy) Review

Hi everyone,

Recently I was in Belgium for work and got the chance to taste some whiskies at a lovely little whisky shop/restaurant called Tine's Stoof.

They had an open bottle day, including some exclusive single casks like this one.

Glenlivet Signatory 2006 46%

1st fill Sherry Hogshead

Colour: Amber

Body: Medium

Nose: Nice Sherry, very sweet, spiced orange, candied orange peel, some cherry, milk chocolate.

Taste: Oily and soft, sweet and sour, raisin then sour cherry, very little pear, more chewy now with the Sherry.

Finish: Medium length. Lots of chocolate and cocoa powder.

This was bottled just before becoming 11 years old. An exclusive bottling for various people (see label). There's a nice mix of flavours here, not too much sweetness.

75/100

Thanks for reading!
