Tastes

the taste is super sweet right off the bat, smell is nothing special but the taste is out of this world

Fantastic! smells bourboney, I didn't even know it was in ex-bourbon casks!! Smells buttery and sweet, my favorite Glenlivet so far, Tastes great by leaning your head forward, taking a sip, keeping in your mouth for 8 seconds, and when you swallow, lean your head back and exhale. man oh man!!

to me it smells like being near a pool or a hot-tub, but for anyone that HASN'T tried it, DON'T think it's a BAD thing... gives me an instant positive memory. Puts me in that zone. Smells kinda bourboney as well, sweet, especially after airing out in a rocks glass neat. Very smokey, very tasty for being cask strength. While not my favorite Glenlivet in particular, definitely a damn good scotch.

it doesn't even need to sit in your mouth, you can just drink it, amazing scent like the Glenlivet 15 and the Glenlivet 21. Oh man.

I tasted it straight and I dug it, I mean I dig pretty much any bourbon so far, even Evan Williams, on it's own I didn't taste too much distinction but I liked it. It wasn't till I had it with cola that I really noticed the flavor, since i'm so used to drinking bourbon with cola. I'm anxious to try it in other bourbon cocktails I drink such as Whiskey Sour & whatever a Bourbon and Cream Soda is called. Those are my 3 go-to's depending on how soon i want to sleep after.

maybe it's great as a mixer, but it doesn't taste smooth drinking it up, not even after letting air out for more than an hour. the scent gets slightly better, but not buttery like makers. the lingering aftertaste on my tongue kinda tastes like cinnamon if it was a basketball court away from me, trying to scream but much too far away to hear any words

technically my first bourbon, after sunning the city of Portland from my 3rd floor apartment one morning I decided this might be a bit too crazy for me.

I like Maker's, don't like Jack, Like Evan, but Jim just tastes really strange to me. Couldn't get into it. Thought I would like all Bourbons.

I liked it better than Jack Daniels, but after selling so much at my liquor store I kinda figured there'd be more to it. Have not tried other irish whiskies yet though. Update: my opinion of it after being held in my mouth for a while before swallowing and exhaling is a bit higher. I will have a better review of it soon once I have more of it.

maybe i don't like tennessee whisky in general, but after trying other whiskies i don't know why this name is so well known based on tasting the bottle..
