The Glenlivet 12 Year Old

My First Glenlivet!

After trying Wine and then Pork I thought I would try whisky. The colour is almost like a Meerkat when it is 2 year old. The taste was good to start but not really baked enough. Not recommended by me!

A goody for beginners

I don't agree with the above guy. It is a great invitation to the Whiskyworld for newcomers. As for me it should be oomphed up to 46% and have a bit stricter barrel policy:)

Very nice drink

I cant agree with the first review either, this is a very good whisky and is worth every penny. Very highlt recommended.

Aperitif

I think this is a pleasant dram to have before a meal instead of port or sherry.

First Glenlivet

I have to agree with 4 star guy.Great for beginners.Easy to drink.

Count me in as well..

Definately find this one good, not overly complex but very drinkable.

Fruity and honey

My first and memorable whisky. With an elegant case, this one is the very best quality price single malt I ever tried. Honey, creamy, very fruity, a little of vanilla. A Speyside classic.

The one that started it all for me...

My first glass of the Glenlivet was as memorable as my first kiss. This is the one that began my love affair with Scotch Whisky. A solid, creamy, straight forward whisky with a nice finish.

definitely before dinner not after

dips

its awesome

Heaven

I NEVER liked ANY dark liquor. I was a vodka guy. The Glenlivet changed my world!! I drink it on the rocks, sometimes with a splash of water, and sometimes with a splash of Dr Pepper. Wonderful. I would pay ANY price for this....FANTASTIC!!

Poncho

I like it, like it...

wow

A great treat for scotch drinkers everywhere

always in my heart

won a bottle last night; will always be a scotch lover, but one sip gives me a migraine for a week now. WISH i could give it a review. i'll just use it for aroma therapy.

First timer

Bought a half bottle love the subtle flavors. I will surely buy it again.

Scotch lover.

I have been drinking scotch for most of my life, and I have been around awhile. Got my first bottle for Christmas. It is the best by far.

Very nice drink

Has been my choice for many years and I'm 80 love this whisky.

Buy it Blind Folded

This is the smoothest, sweetest, and last for long. it has a perfect aroma which makes it more delicious. if you are a single malt lover you CANNOT afford to miss this. For me its priority.

a nice quaff.usualy after dinner

bought a bottle of this for my brother as a xmas prezzie.whilst i was on holidy in cuba.paid approx £16.im a whiskey drinker myself.thought the price was too good a deal to pass on.Well i must add this bottle complete in its box and nice wrapping was in my drinks cupd for at least 6 weeks before i succumbed.The temptation became too much to bear.even more so when i saw it in my local Asda and Sainsburys retailing in the region of £28.I just had to try it for myself.well 2 weeks on and im contemplating recycling the bottle in the recycle bin.it is a pleasant quaff.i drink it on the rocks and wouldnt want to insult it by watering it down with mixers or water.take it as it comes.its quite polished im a fan.my previous dallyance in the realm of the malt is Glenfarclas slightly more expensive but a very nice quaff too.Glenlivet i will revisit but might have to wait till xmas to justify the expense.

Smooth

I agree with Dips...and if he's my friend this is wierd.

Nadura

I have been drinking this and this only, for the past 8 yrs. Before dinner or, post dinner does not make a difference. It is great all the times. Only ice, no water. Two yrs back I came to know about Nadura. It becomes misty when you add ice to it. Ultimate drink. Too bad, not sold in India.

Deja Vu

I've drank scotch since I was 15 and given the "man" talk. I've tasted every whisky commonly available in every bar and liquor store. With the exception of many $60+ (not sure how much in euros), Glenlivet is definitely the best in every basic category (price/value, aroma, flavor, and finish). Until you start getting into the much more expensive/limited/rare bottles of scotch, you won't find another that is better, especially for the price. The Deja Vu is somebody noted it to be as memorable as their first kiss, and I had thought the exact same thing. I agree with many others, not sure what the first review was talking about. But just like any other drink you will receive different flavors with different foods and drinks that preceeded your whisky. From wine thru pork to Glenlivet and being disappointed, including your particular remarks tells me, with due respect, you're not very familiar with whisky in general. Much less have you acquired a taste for it to where you know what to expect from it. Glenlivet is the cheapest liquor I keep in my home. Everyone that knows me knows if they want anything but whisky or beer when they come to my home, they better bring their own bottle. Glenlivet 12yr is "the cheap stuff" in my home, and yet still an impressive creation. One that does tend to impress guests without having to waste a $200 bottle of scotch on guests who don't appreciate the qualities of good booze in the first place. I rated this a 9 because it doesn't deserve a 10 if the particular bottler makes other whisky's on their menu that exceed this particular one. If you ask me... if you don't like Glenlivet or at least appreciate its quality but may just not your particular flavor... you just simply don't like whisky. Serve neat, or on the rocks with no more than 2 cubes. If you have to mix, again, you just don't like whisky and should buy cheaper and less elegent whisky to use in your mix and just stick to what you know.

Love this stuff

Have tried many whiskies and this is one of my favorites - I keep going back to it time after time. Before dinner, after dinner, by itself, it doesn't matter. It's perfect anytime. Very highly recommended! Bravo.

Love it

i Give it 10 star i was taste it yesterday i really like it :)

great scotch

scotch is an idaviules taste personally ive tried many different scotches at many price points and glenlivet 12 yr turn out to be the drink for me.

It's wonderful

I won't claim to be a student or give some pretentious review like I know what I'm talking about. All I know is, this is a great Scotch. I drink it neat (nothing, not even ice, to sully the taste)... a double, about 45 minutes of savoring the various flavors, and I'm good... if you're gonna use ice, grab a cheaper blend of single malts, and if you're gonna use water or any other mixer, go get Cutty Sark. If you like Scotch, this is great stuff.
