This was a millenium edition for Danehill, which I've never heard of before, to tell you the truth. Only 197 bottles. I bought this from the whisky exchange. If you've done the same thing, and notice my cork top is a bit different than yours, its because the original cork in mine was ruined. Lets hope the whisky isn't. The color is golden. It smells sweet, rich peat, vanilla, burnt oak, cinnamon, heather, stewed onions, caramel, burnt sugar, glue. The taste is clean and peppery, again very peaty, austere, black peppers, mustard, yeast. I've never encountered such a peaty Glenlivet before. Time to add some water. Be generous with water on this one, that is my tip. The taste is now much sweeter, more vanilla, custard, honey, green paprika, initially a bit too light for me, but the finish hits with serious peppery, peaty, mustardy notes.
Quite an extreme Glenlivet: 7
Next tasting: Mixed bunch, Scotland and the World

Hey, very interested to read about Danehill. The one thing I'm not sure of is what is "Danehill" is it a shop or restaurant?
I have only seen this release, have they done others?
Many thanks, DT
