The Glenlivet is a world-renowned Scottish whisky brand that has been producing top-quality single malt whiskies since 1824.

For this tasting, we are going to do things a little differently. We are going down under to the Australian distillery Starward. From the small segment of this distillery, I tried the Starward Nova.
