Nose: Toffee and sea salt. Floral and citrusy. Delicately grassy, like beach grass. Some slight hints of peat.
Palate: Toffee blending with vanilla. Lemon notes. Some honey as well. Almost tastes the way a hot whiskey does. Slightly malty as well.
Finish: Medium-long. A little warm. Citrus lingering and keeping it lively.
Overall Thoughts: Not bad at all! Definitely not one of the best but I can see why Glenlivet is wildly popular all over the world. It’s tasty and very easy to drink. However I wouldn’t say it’s a new favorite and I won’t be rushing out to buy a 750 ml bottle. This is something I’d recommend for someone looking to start trying Scotch. I’m more keen to try some of the older Glenlivet whiskies.
