The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Whisky 70cl

The flavour 100% improves a couple of days after opening the bottle. This is a nice and easy to drink scotch. Nothing spectacular, yet can’t really be faulted.

Speyside no doubt.
This one is quite good but not very special.
At its pricetag however it’s hard to beat.
Easy to drink. Easy to enjoy.

Good entry level dram for those who have yet to discover whisky.

This is good shit, my default whisky anytime anywhere.

I wouldn't describe myself as a whisky afficionado but I tasted some of this particular single malt whisky recently and liked it so much, I bought another couple of bottles !!

It has a slightly smoky taste to it (possibly from the barrels used to age it) that doesn't take ones breath away when swallowed - very smooth indeed...

Sweet, fruity and smooth. pleasant brake from my usual smoked go to’s

Very good, very fruity, but i still prefer the 18….

I prefer this over aberlour 12, lately. I have had about 20 of old yellow bottles, and about 5 this blue ones. This is a sipper. Old ones were better. I always have a 10-20 bottle rotation, so I really dont give a flying F, If I have a lesser batch. Way better than chivas 12. No comp to jack or beam, any beam for that matter, I always have few better ones in a rotation, or walker black 12. This is miles better. But have to be honest, I do prefer cognacs in this price range. I do. But glenlivet 12 will always be in my rotation, my baby, until I depart from this planet. Sure, macallan 12, jack SB, all 4 famous xo cognacs tops it, but others, well they really dont.

This is probably the fruitiest tasting whisky I have experienced to date. There was a big kick of pear-drop aroma, and taste, on first acquaintance. This lessened as the level in the bottle went down, with slightly different fruit flavours coming to prominence. The last few drams in the bottle tasted distinctly of ‘apple’ . I am not sure whether all whisky aficionados would consider this variance between first and last dram to be a good thing, but I was thoroughly entertained by this bottle of whisky and enjoyed it very much.

Has exactly what it says in the MoM description. Very fruity with vanilla but it’s lacks....something. The finish doesn’t last long and it doesn’t seem to be as creamy as the founders reserve. Give it a go but don’t expect big things.

Smooth fruity whisky with a character. Taste gets better few days after opening the bottle.
One of my favourite during summer.
