The Glenlivet 30 Years Old 1977 Mission Cask Strength Series MM 70cl

The Glenlivet 30 Years Old 1977 Mission Cask Strength Series MM is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. It comes from The Glenlivet, the distillery that started it all — the first licensed in the parish of Glenlivet, setting the benchmark for the smooth, fruity Speyside style.

This release was bottled at 51.8%, with an outturn of just 650 bottles.

Nose: Ripe orchard fruit, soft vanilla and inviting depth.
Palate: Honey, joined by clean oak, building in intensity.
Finish: Long and layered, closing on citrus blossom.

Best enjoyed neat, with just a drop of water to unlock the full aroma. Collector’s note: only 650 bottles exist; whiskies of this age are only growing scarcer. A strong candidate for the cabinet as much as the glass.
