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.

Customer Rating
“From the first taste this became my favourite whisky ever. There is only one problem, once I started pouring and sipping I kept pouring and sipping. Normally I would maybe have a couple of glasses very occasionally so going through more than 3 quarters of a bottle in one evening is a first. Absolutely 5 stars from me.”

Clearly not a refined single malt, but then it's not claiming to be! Great alternative session whisky that you can enjoy in slightly larger quantities without waking up with a head like a sledgehammer!!
Personally I quite liked this drink. I wouldn't say smooth was a bit harsh straight but I did enjoy the carribean aftertaste. Works well with a mixer I think. Maybe not one for the connesieurs though
Very smooth. Love the flavour
I really like this whisky. I'm not a massive fan of Glenlivet as I find the taste quite harsh. This, on the other hand, is lighter and doesn't have the alcohol taste. The nose is refreshing and the after taste is really nice. I used ice stones so it didn't water down and it really made a difference enhancing the taste. This is definitely going to be one of my favourites.
