Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve

Smooth, watery mouth-feel. Faint honey and spices taste much like a cinnamon Red-Hots candy. I'm getting some floral notes in the flavor, too.

I was hoping for a cheaper alternative to the Balvenie Caribbean when I bought this. It's not on the same level, unfortunately. It's not a bad sipping whisky, but it's finish is abrupt and I don't get much of the rum notes on the passage. The hint of sweetness is making me hopeful it will pair well with a cigar, which will be my next tasting.

Nice orange twist on a classic

Dry and ashy on the nose. Fruit begins to emerge. Cantelope. Slight white pepper. Sweet flavor. White cranberries. Oak. Green peas. A little vanilla and cotton candy. Tasty.
