Ole Reliable. Who Does it Right for 187 Years?

The Glenlivet 
Single Malt Scotch Whisky
From: Banffshire, Scotland
Age: 12 Years
Cost: ~$50-$60
40% Alc./Vol.
'onemalt' Rating: 8/10


If my boots were made for walkin', The Glenlivet was made for drinkin'  This 12 Year old beauty has been a long time staple of the single malt world.  This stuff is smooth ladies and gentleman from the second it touches your tongue til' the pour of another glass.  My (whiskey jar) seemed to fill itself after my first gulp.   The aromatic almost refreshing after taste had me coming back for more.  "This stuff taste like sweet velvet" I said to myself.  The golden brown liquid has a complex taste, but it is subtly smooth, leaving a very full and satisfied feeling in the mouth.  


I will definitely revisit this scotch again. With a large variety of ages and availability hopefully I won't have to wait long. A reasonable price for the quality of the malt beverage makes 'The Glenlivet' a great gift for that classy someone.  Special thanks to Lee Ann for introducing me to 'The Glenlivet 12'.


Palates Welcome,
