Reviewed August 22, 2021It’s a good adventure for your tongue to experience the tasting notes. Bottle 1 taste like apples Bottle 2 is peat and smoke Bottle 3 was like 1 and 2 combined to make Oban -

Reviewed February 2, 2021 (edited February 3, 2021)Continuing my reviews on the Glenlivet Spectra, this is the time to write about what i thought about the Number 02, described as "it will remind having a bonfire by seaside". Well let's see if that is true, since i really need a vacation, and that description seems like a nice plan. Bottled at 40%, golden color. On the nose it is very perfumed. Right away you perceive this clean powerful fresh pear aroma. A light fog, cloth softener, sand. Very fruity, some mild spiciness like cinnamon. Foam. Feels clean and fruity. On the palate it is a lot better than the Number 01. Apples, very speysider. Nice and spicy. Some sulphur notes, tobacco and sider. Aftertaste is very good and pleasant. A nice smoky, peaty flavor; very elegant and grassy. Burnt grass, stewed fruits. Sider long finish. A cigarrette note appeared after 10 seconds of having tasted it, totally unexpected, it is like an extra kick, very interesting. Overall; this is a much better, rounded, elegant whisky than the first expression. I have yet to taste number 03, but it feels they hit all the right buttons when making this one. It still feels like a proper glenlivet with a peaty / smoky profile. Well done. My score for it, 88 over 100. -

Reviewed July 19, 2020 (edited November 28, 2020)I was expecting to be disappointed, I was expecting 3 bottles of similarly tasting scotch that wouldn't impress a scotch snob like me. I was very wrong. Each one was different and delicious. No cask info but we think we've got it figured out (I should say, my brother has it figured out). Taste them in order and enjoy.
