The Glenlivet
Scotland
Single Malt
First revealed towards the end of 2014, the Founder's Reserve single malt Scotch whisky is now available in the UK and will be replacing The Glenlivet 12 year old in many of the mature markets despite initial indications that it would sit beside it, broadening the entry-level options. Named in tribute to distillery founder George Smith, it's packaged in Georgian blue.
Some dates then what at first appears to be a touch of salinity, but is better described as a slightly sharp plum and apricot wine note. There's orange zest, toffee, hints of struck match and chocolate raisins, but before this starts to sound 'Sherried' there's also pear drops, a dusting of sweet cinnamon, honeysuckle and sweet pea.
Fruity, then sweet, more toffee, a touch of anise, then into milk chocolate Flakes, banoffee pie and apple turnovers.
Creamy toffee to the fore now, a little oak and sweet barley sugar warmth too. Milk chocolate raisins linger.
Perhaps a little sweet, but it would work well with ice where the sweetness would be slightly suppressed - and before you shudder with disgust, Alan Winchester said that he liked his with a little ice sometimes too. And if it's good enough for the Master Distiller...
Smooth and good for the price.
Great NOAS single malt. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they are talking about
I think the reviews are a little harsh. Are you expecting to sit down and cuddle this one? Not at this price. But let’s face it, its sacrilege to gulp glendronach 18, but if you’ve had a curry or you’ve had a load full and you fancy a gulping whisky? You will get the oak and vanilla and you won’t be upset with yourself for drinking all the good stuff.
A very nice easy drinker for everyday use. I keep this for a dram on a normal days, and keep my Macallans, Signet & Glendronach for special occasions. For me its very good value for £20, if you want something impressive you simply have to find the whisky for you or spend more. Simples.
Idea for a relaxing dram, lovely smooth flavours.
