Glenlivet 12 Year Excellence

Citrus, lemon, green apple, caramel, watery mouth feel, slight peat, chocolatey - yum! Cheers

This release is for Eastern markets only. Nose: Heavily spent sherry from leeched casks. A bit of apple juice and lemonade. Malt husks. Taste: It's a copy of the mediocre nose. For a whisky allegedly aged only in sherry casks, there's surprisingly little sherry on the palate itself. I guess that's normal for leeched casks though. Finish: Short, dry, bitter. Not surprising, when the casks are this weak. Final thoughts: I don't know what the heck they were thinking with this, besides trying to sell residue malt from old casks. This whisky makes the Glenfiddich 12 actually look very good. I would definitely recommend the latter over this forgettable TGL malt.

Not that smooth and a hit of spice at the touch.
