The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Illicit Still

From the Whisky Exchange (link new window)

This celebratory single malt comprises first fill American oak casks, hand-picked to celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Glenlivet. The fruity, lightly tropical character that made this Speyside distillery famous is present and correct with some added vanilla, coconut and almond notes from that good-quality white oak. A fitting way to mark the bicentenary of one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries.
