Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
October 3, 2017
Nose - Light floral honey, toasted brioche, grape/pear cider.
Taste - Honeyed apple/grape cider, white wine soaked golden raisins, lightly oaked apple peel bitterness.
Finish - Fairly short, grape/golden raisin juicy sweet, faint fruity pear peel bitter/sour in the background.
Score - 73/100
Final Thoughts - This is a very light and refreshing Scotch. It tastes very "summery" to me in that it's light, floral, and has hints of green apples and fresh juicy pears with a hint of honey. Not too complex and it doesn't have to be. A bit boring, but perfect for those summer days where you want something light and not too high a proof. Would work well over a large ice cube or in a refreshing highball.
