This is a very enjoyable dram. I have to start with that statement because sometimes you just find everyday whiskies that completely blow your mind because how good they are, even if they are not complex, or expensive, and maybe mainstream. Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is finished in selected rum casks, and is bottled at 40%abv. On the nose it delivers everything you expect from a rum cask finish. Bananas, tropical fruits, fresh oranges, vanilla, rum, molasses, bronzer, brown sugar, pineapple, very fresh. I even got a "Jelly shot" note. I really can imagine myself having a dram of this in a pool in Dominican Republic. After the first sip it gave me orange peel notes, caramel, vanilla and cookie dough. Very nice. On the palate it is very friendly. Very smooth vanilla, pepper rises after a few seconds, oranges, pineapple, grapefruit. Second sip felt a little watery, but very fruity. Totally caribbean. Aftertaste is nice, with tobacco, ginger, mint pill and oranges. Overall, this was great. Totally recommended as an everyday dram, or a bottle to bring to a party and drink it fully! (Not the best advice in the world, please drink carefully, lol). My score for it is an unfair 86 over 100, and i say unfair because it surely feels like more. Sláinte!
