Glenlivet Founder's Reserve

I bought a bottle in London and enjoyed it until I had to leave it half finish at the Ljubljana airport due to weight restrictions. I hope the Slovenian airport security guy enjoyed the rest.

Nose: apples, vanilla, slight oak spiciness Palate: toasted wood and spices, stewed apples, vanilla, oranges Mouthfeel: medium body Finish: short Maybe my favorite of the 4 expressions I've tried, but still not a go-to

Nose - sugary smell, some fruity notes but hard to pinpoint, the deeper I smell the more the fruit comes out, caramel is noted Taste - good front taste, subtle and difficult to distinguish any fruits, I'm getting more oakyness from this one, the more I taste the more flavor comes out of (dare I say) orange? Finish - smooth but taste leaves very quick, I get a hint of caramel at the end, little to no burn Score - 3.75, the more I taste this one the more it comes to life, different than the 12yr in a good way but 12yr still beats it for me Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a go-to for a bottle of Scotch 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable. 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
