The Glenlivet Fusion Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced at The Glenlivet Distillery in Scotland's Speyside region. The whisky is initially matured in American and European oak casks, then selectively finished in bespoke fusion casks made from dismantled first-fill rum and bourbon barrels. It is bottled at 40% ABV and retails for around $90-100.
On its own things are equally enjoyable, the coffee character again impossible to miss, with notes of vanilla and caramel giving it a hint of a dessert-like quality. Brighter notes of banana and coconut emerge from there, hinting at tiki, with chocolate leading to even more coffee on the finish — lightly touched with baking spices.
