1 liter bottle. Pours a deep gold color. Not too leggy but has a very viscous, oily body that you can see cascading in the glass. The nose is butter, coffee creamer and stewed apples. Honeysuckle and pear. The smoke is very wispy: it manifests itself as a tin of vanilla tobacco. The taste is additional butter and creamer, but with a more pronounced smoke at the swallow, like a drag of a menthol cigarette. There is a citrus that is like a sugary lemon drop or lemon meringue, with equal parts sweet and pucker. Mashed apples and vanilla creme. Mint leaf and lemongrass. A very pronunced pine needle and forest soil component I'd never picked up before. The finish is tobacco ash and potting soil. Pine sap and charcoal. Pear and apple skins. Coffee grounds with the creamer to match. It's got a gritty, ashy aftertaste and feel to boot. There is also a strange cooling sensation, like menthol. This melds with a metallic barrel tannin finish. Glenlivet 12 "Double Oak" is a very solid, buttery Scotch with just a bit of smoke and some grassy, earthy components. It may get a little more mileage out of name recognition, and it's not as good as I remember when I would order it at a bar (context matters), bit it's a solid selection at the right price.
