Glenlivet 25 Year Old 1998 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl, 53.1%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep mahogany. This is a presentation-led inference based on the first-fill Oloroso cask style and product imagery.
Nose: Rich sherry, dried fruit, dark chocolate, polished oak, and warming spice. This nose wording is a careful style-led adaptation based on the cask type, age, and review summaries rather than a formal official distillery tasting sheet.
Palate: Dense and mature with dark fruit, tart wood, spices, nuts, and dark chocolate. This wording is adapted from Whiskybase review summaries for this exact bottling.
Finish: Medium in length with chocolate, nuts, dark fruit, wood, and a slightly drying spicy edge. This finish wording is also adapted from Whiskybase review summaries rather than a published official finish note.
Description
Glenlivet 25 Year Old 1998 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl 53.1% is a rare and mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the Cask Strength Collection – Symington’s Choice. It was distilled on 28 August 1998 and bottled on 22 August 2024, giving it a full 25 years of maturation before release.
This bottling comes from a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, cask number 128819, and was released at its natural cask strength of 53.1% ABV. It is also listed as natural colour, non-chill filtered, and single cask, preserving the whisky’s full texture, body, and sherry-led depth. Only 515 bottles were produced.
Glenlivet is often associated with a polished and elegant Speyside style, and this kind of long-aged first-fill Oloroso maturation gives it a darker, richer, and more concentrated profile than many standard distillery releases. That makes it especially appealing for drinkers who enjoy mature sherried Speyside whisky with depth, structure, and strong cask influence. This style summary is an inference based on the cask type, age, and release format.
