After i bought this Glenlivet 12yo "Double Oak", i found out it is supposed to be the classic twelve year old, but with a refurbished label and packaging. The phrase "Double Oak" has been added and some pastel colors to the image as well. Bottled at 40%abv, golden color. On the nose; i believe this one is far sweeter and more complex than the old 12 that i remember. Vanilla crest, crushed almonds, chocolate, oranges and lemon. There is a green apple juice that is very appealing. Lots of fresh fruits. On the palate it feels more classic. Orange peel, pepper. Fresh fruits like green apples and jints of sawdust after a couple of seconds. A second sip gave me vanilla and almonds. Aftertaste is a little short. Sawdust. Very dry. Almonds. Hints of a grainy vanilla. Feels like a grain whisky vanilla note. Overall, i am not sure if the formula has changed, but this one did not feel exactly as the old Glenlivet 12yo. This one was far more complex, without been anything too oustanding. If this is going to be left as the quintessencial core range expression, they are in a good track. My score for it is an 80 over 100.
