Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Lemon drizzle cake, honey fudge, and buttery fruit pastries, a touch of raspberry, with hints of citrus blossom, vanilla, and butterscotch.
Palate: A medley of rich, fruity sweetness and warming woody spices gathers. Robust notes of toffee pennies and syrup-soaked apricots give way to a wave of pepper and nutmeg, doused by yet more caramel sweetness, apple candies, and robust malt.
Finish: Long and satisfying with brown sugar, apple loaf, rich oak, buttery notes of bourbon and toffee popcorn, with gently drying earthy spice on the tail.

Description:
Now Officially Available in Australia for the Very First Time
Floral, Malty & Wonderfully Complex
This exceptional single malt was distilled at The Glenlivet distillery in 1998 and matured for an impressive 26 years in a single bourbon barrel. The extended maturation has preserved the distillery’s signature fruity and floral profile, while adding a gorgeous layer of richness and complexity.
A Rare Independent Bottling from Glenlivet
Older Glenlivet single cask releases are rarely made available as official bottlings. Only a handful of bottles were allocated to our Aussie shores. And with just 99 bottles produced, this 26-year-old Speyside single malt offers extraordinary rarity.
The Masterpiece Collection
Master of Malt describe themselves as “fiercely independent and founder-owned” — a passionate team of enthusiasts who never add colour and never chill-filter their releases. The Masterpiece Collection represents the pinnacle of their own-label range: hand-selected single casks chosen purely for exceptional character.
