Glenlivet Cipher (2016) – Limited Edition Mystery Release

Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Content: 700 ml
Alcohol: 48.0%

Description

The Glenlivet Cipher is one of the distillery's most mysterious releases ever. At its 2016 launch, no official tasting notes were released: no nose, no palate, no finish. Everything was deliberately kept secret—aficionados and connoisseurs had to crack the riddle themselves.

The result is a whisky that has now achieved cult status, partly thanks to its limited edition and the unique black bottle without details.

Flavor profile (by community consensus)

• Nose: Dark chocolate, stewed fruit, spices and subtle smoky notes.

• Palate: Full, rich, and creamy. Notes of raisins, dark chocolate, cloves, orange peel, and light wood spices.

• Finish: Long, warming, slightly sweet and spicy.

Particulars
