This was my first experience with the Glenlivet distillery and I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, due to the noncommittal nature of the occasion, I was unable to write down extensive tasting notes. It's like sticking your nose in a honey pot. Honey, sweet, fruity and grassy. Smooth and voluntary on the palate. No alcohol sting due to the lower ABV. This is a classic Speyside, with hints of honey, green apples and vanilla in the finish. "Good" : 2.75 stars | Good, just fine.
