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...
Any review over 2* must be from a bot or someone who has mistaken this bottle for something else. Dire stuff, no flavour just burn. Very obviously not a day over 3 years old. Avoid
For me is one of the best
A pleasant drink - very smooth with lots of honey, vanilla, and caramel. Good value at less than half price from a major supermarket (why so cheap??) but not what I expected and not a great malt.
Smooth and full of honey, vanilla, and caramel. A pleasant drink, especially on offer at under £20 per bottle but not what I expected and not a great malt whisky.
1824 Reserve is in Florida and has been for a while. It is less expensive than the previous regular 12 year old. It is excellent and I would not think of putting ice in it. I am not a billionaire, nor am I poor. This Scotch fills the bill very nicely.
