Glenlivet 1938 Bot.1970s Gordon & Macphail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: This is a very light and refreshing malt.
