The Perfect Fifth Glenlivet Single Cask Strength 40 year 700 ml

A truly rare and exceptional expression, this 40-year-old Glenlivet single malt from The Perfect Fifth is a masterpiece of time, craftsmanship, and cask selection. Bottled at cask strength, it delivers the full depth, complexity, and character developed over four decades of maturation in the Speyside region.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Intensely rich and layered, with aromas of dried fruits, figs, apricot, and honeyed malt. Notes of toasted oak, vanilla, warm spices, and a hint of citrus zest create a sophisticated and inviting bouquet. Subtle floral and nutty undertones add further complexity.

• Palate: Full-bodied, silky, and remarkably balanced. Flavors of caramel, stewed fruits, marzipan, and light sherry influence mingle with gentle oak tannins, baking spices, and hints of cocoa. The whisky’s decades-long maturation produces a seamless integration of sweetness, fruit, and spice.

• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and elegant. Lingering notes of dried fruit, malt, toasted oak, and soft spice create a contemplative and memorable finish that showcases its age.

Character & Craftsmanship
Glenlivet, one of Speyside’s most iconic distilleries, is renowned for producing smooth, aromatic, and balanced single malts. This 40-year-old single cask release exemplifies these qualities while highlighting the depth and complexity achievable through extended aging. Bottled at cask strength, it captures the whisky exactly as it matured, with no dilution to its natural richness.

Why It Stands Out

• Rare 40-year age statement with exceptional Speyside character

• Single cask strength bottling preserving the full natural profile

• Rich, layered, and sophisticated flavor profile

• A collector’s treasure and a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience

A historic and refined single malt, The Perfect Fifth Glenlivet 40 Year offers an unparalleled journey into the elegance, depth, and artistry of long-aged Speyside whisky.
