Glenlivet 12 Year First Fill

Absolutely delicious, barely any burn and the finish is gentle too.

Creamy and smooth all around, with vanilla, caramel, and honey abounding on the nose and palate. It's quite floral on the nose as well, while on the palate that familiar Glenlivet maltiness shines through. Overall this is a richer and more interesting whisky than the regular 12, and worth the extra money in my opinion. Very smooth but not boring.

A great step up from the regular 40% abv 12. A more refined scotch for the connoisseur who still enjoys The Glenlivet. Very little fruitiness as compared to the regular 12. Vanilla, caramel with spice like cinnamon and a hint of dark chocolate sweetness; a moderate finish. I find this to have a medium to light mouthfeel. The more I drink, the more I like it. Bottled at a respectable 43.2% abv, this is a class act; an elegant scotch. Okay, The Glenlivet, a mass producer of good single malt scotch for the masses; but that doesn’t mean they can’t produce a better 12yo malt. As a matter of fact, they can and did. Great quality and value for the price, a keeper.
