Glenlivet 21 Year Old Archive (Wooden Case)

Good Livet Glenlivet 21 Year Old Archive (Wooden Case)

21 year old Glenlivet at 43%. Not overly expensive either. 150AUD duty free for a 21 year old whisky is pretty good value in my book. Cheaper than Chivas 18, Johnnie blue and Lagavulin Distillers edit…
