A tropical expression from The Glenlivet, for Caribbean Reserve a portion of the whisky was finished in casks which previously held Caribbean rum. The distillery folks suggest adding a splash of coconut water, though we reckon a malty twist on a Mai Tai is on the cards!
Honeyed orchard fruit, tinned pear and fried banana.
Ripe tropical fruit and brown sugar, along with cinnamon pastries.
Pineapple upside down cake.
A real crowd pleaser! Don’t be put off by any mediocre reviews of this fine expression from The Glenlivet. Smooth, sweet on the nose and an easy light finish with the rum and caramel coming through.
Ok its not an expensive whisky, but I enjoyed every sip. Light & smooth, gentle sweetness conjuring honey and tropical papaya notes
This is not a whisky to sip slowly and saviour. It’s one to enjoy in a cocktail or in a highball. Don’t worry about what it’s not, enjoy it for what it is.
GLENLIVET Caribbean Reserve Dont feed the trolls below... this Scotch is the best bang for your buck around. When im looking for a cheap dram this is spectacular. The Look: Copper The Nose: Honey, Toffee, Coffee, Sweet Berries, Plum The Taste: Plum Pudding, Sweet Berries, Cream, Cherry The Finish: Only about 10 seconds, not great on the Finish The Bottle: Classic Glenlivet look with a pop of orange color, which suits the flavor profile. THE VERDICT: 87 PTS One of the only Scotches under 35 bucks that I truly thoroughly enjoy. The finish is completely lacking however and once you swallow you have about 10 seconds to savor.
First time tried nice smooth finish Nice to drink at fireside on cold winter night
