About this bottle

Glenesk 1980 2014 GM is a scotch whisky from Scotland in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 46% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Even with time, the nose is far from being excessively expressive, far from it. Herbal and floral notes come first to mind, with soft vanilla and honey. This is quite austere. There is some minerality with flint and faint notes of apricot and peach; on the palate: A bit plain on the palate, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. There’s some spiciness, chocolate, a wee bit of smoke and some oaky notes as well. This is quite citrusy as well, with a lemony/grapefruit sourness; finish: Medium, with a citrusy sourness, herbal notes and the sensation of licking oak.

Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
Corporate gifts

Forty gifts, one conversation.

“Corporate bottles for clients. Spirit Hives suggested three price bands, one invoice, and the labels were consistent. Several clients asked where they came from.”
