astringency over powers the light fruity and Carmel flavors. would probably drink over a Glenfiddich 12, but would not be my daily drinker. not bad, but not great.
sweet and fruity. refreshing.
very astringent, light Carmel and fruit. alcoholic taste overpowers the flavors
short light finish. rubbing alcohol after taste. not terrible, but not great.

Nice balanced whisky.
Sweet
Just a nice well rounded Scotch. Not expensive. Not very complex; But Now pretty much my "go to" variety of Scotch
Standard ex-bourbon maturation. Showing a hint of complexity, the nose is floral, fresh and delicate, emphases on pears and citrus fruits. On the palate, this malt is light and sweet. The ex-bourbon barrels show up strongly here, putting more vanilla down on the flavor, and pulling the sweetness over, like a corn syrupy sweet instead of a malty one, but it's a pleasant sweetness. Not too complex and rather refreshingly straightforward, with a not lingering nut and fruit finish. Well balanced between light/fresh and rich/creamy.
It's a classic benchmark single malt without any edges or notable highlights, that’s light, accessible, easy to drink and therefore a shade boring. Anyway this is a real Speyside. And, imho, it's better than Glenfiddich 12. This expression is discontinued, it's named Excellence now.
N-21, P-20, F-20, B-20.
pear, wild flowers, citrus, fresh herbal...
vanilla, corn syrup, almond, peach, bit of cereal...
marzipan, almond, dried banana, fruity...
Floral and berries. Very smooth; one of my favorites.
Easy going. Flat finish.
Sweet
te platjes, goed om smaak wat los te krijgen op de tong, maar ook niet meer dan dat
Klasyk - od niego powinno zaczynać się tę podróż.
On the nose: Bubblegum, refreshing, floral. On the palate, pear. Finish: fruity, short.
This falls into the classic style of scotch that doesn't do it for me although some people enjoy it. Too much burn and bitter aftertaste for me.
Simple whisky that is nonoffensive, but not memorable. Goes down easy, but is flat on the finish.
Nothing special
A malty and fruity every day dram. Gentle, with plenty of apple and vanilla. An excellent introduction to Scotch.
very nice and casual drink for everyday sipping... very smooth and easy to understand
Zacht in het begin, eik in de nasmaak
fris en fruitig , eik en alcohol nasmaak
uninspiring. I keep it in my collection as a base level when I host Scotch nights.
classic
Clear, clean, sweet, with oak finish and a hint of alcohol burn.
Full smooth flavor, mostly vanilla with hint of spice.
An easy going dram, not to complex. This is an okay bottle for an entry whisky, but there is better value to be had in this price range.
Fruit, vanilla.
Well balanced, perhaps a bit sweet. Not too complex, easy to drink.
Relatively smooth with a medium finish.
yup
A bit bland - oak and not much else.
Smooth, easy drinking, a little oaky. Rich.
straightforward, simple, easy drinking.
Fruity, vanille, smooth and excellent entry level single malt. Good value for money.
Fruity, fresh single malt.
Another beginners malt. Good stuff though. It's a big seller for a reason!
A fine, simple dram. Nothing stellar or complicated, yet smooth and enjoyable.
Мягкий напиток с ароматами луговых трав. Сладковатый вкус, мягкое послевкусие.
Good, smoth fruity whisky.
Easy drinking
vanvittig froksmak.goe wisky
Absoluut prima voor de prijs. Niks aparts, maar beter dan de meeste in zijn klasse
Very smooth with hints of fruit and honey.
Quite vivid and intensive taste with fruity tang. Honey on the nose. Balanced overall. Decent commercial single malt.

Silky smooth on the palate. Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water. Floral & fruity.
licht rokerig en zoetig met een duidelijk vanille tint. een goeie instapper voor de beginnende whiskey drinker
its approachable and light. another easy intro into scotch
It's a good intro to scotch. Nothing fancy or outstanding with the palate. Smooth finish. I could take two drams of it then it got boring. I would probably get it again so someone that needed an intro to scotch could try it. Middle of the road, not mindblowing and not too boring.
reliable very drinkable but but not remarkable.
Very good accessible and affordable single malt. Fruity light and smooth. Not sweet or dry, but balanced.
very light with lots of flavor
sharp, sweet, ellegant
Nice.
Taste of fruit.
Pretty sour for my taste, a good mixer but not as enjoyable straight
Floral, fruity, sweet. Very easy drinking. No intensity. No sharp edges. Maybe som pears or apples.
I enjoyed it. it's less intense than some other whiskeys, so it would be good to have around for every day use or just to use with guest. I enjoyed it better neat, was to diluted on the rocks. plus it doesn't really need it since it's fairly smooth.
Nice whiskey during the week
good entry level whisky
fresh balanced fruity pineapple vanilla toffee
Apple greapfruit creamy toffee
sweet medium long fruity nut
Overall pleasant experience.
Fruit, honey, spices
Sweet up front, malty. Becomes spicy with water, but breaks down quickly.
Malt, very mild smoke.
Sweet taste, usually I prefer smokey flavor, which this lacks, but stilla very good whiskey
Unpopular opinion but I really don't like Glenlivet. I've given it a shot time after time and have never been able to enjoy it let alone finish a glass of it.
Enjoyable. Nose gave hints of honey and butterscotch/toffee. Prefer neat, but a few drops of water brought out more character.
dark fruit influence typical of a sherried cask. mild sweetness on tge palate with some oak influence. finish is moderste
Nose: Intense honey, fresh and sweet. Floral and exotic - pineapple, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar. Barely no oak. Nutty.
Palate: Goes down like water, rich and balanced. Somewhat citrusy, and the oak starts to show up in the background. Very fresh.
Finish: Medium, slightly coats your mouth with a sweet fruity note.

8 minutes airtime. nose was oak and salt. palate was salty to a burn that ended in oak. I added a splash of water which made the salty worse but the burn shorter then magnolia, cherry blossoms, to honey oak medium finish
smooth whiskey to drink.
very mellow
For some reason this had a sort of numbing or antiseptic affect on my tongue.
cigar
Entry single malt Scotch offering. Honey, fruit, leather, tobacco light notes.
Nice as a back up to bolder flavors.
Good household whisky. Sweet and fruity aftertaste.
smooth, quite drinkable
Good for daily use. On the lighter side.
My go to. On the rocks smooth clean flavor.
Nice fruity light dram
strong vanilla and pineapple. a hint of Apple and cinnamon.
pineapple and summer notes.
sweet vanilla with a zing from citrus fruit.
Great daily driver, and a good way to introduce people to scotch as the fruit flavor and lack of smoke make for an easy dram
Shortbread, apples, sweet, vanilla, malt, fruit
apples, cream, malt, orange rind, fruit
Non existant, apples, maybe?
Good whiskey with nice fruity flavor
good, base single malt
pretty standard speyside whiskey. light, fruity, appley, a touch of orange, and light malt notes. No heat whatsoever.
Good single malt to start with
This was my first single malt. went through a few bottles, but quickly ramped-up to the likes of Laphroaig 15 and lagavulin 16... Never looked back. Though I wouldn't turn it down if offered at a party or event.
good
Great smooth taste
good starter, smooth taste
Great go-to whisky, rough and tumble like a mouthful of brown sugar crystals, with a little burn from the alcohol, just a touch more smoke than McCallan, but sweetness is the defining characteristic
Light spicy with a bit of fruitiness. This whisky is a soothing drink to have it neat rather than in ice or diluted in water. Yes, drink this neat is just how I like it.
A good starter scotch and every day drinker. Very smooth and a pleasant finish.
great taste. a bit hard. good value for money
Spicy but not over the top
Smooth and delicate taste.
An old go to. Dark yellow body. taste is sweet and slightly sugary buy with a slight bite at the end. classic example but very straightforward.
Honey, meadish nose
Medium palate with some heat
cooked apples/pears with honey
Good baseline whiskey. Not too sweet or complex
Very pretty whiskey. Notes of light fruit and flowers at first and a strong brown sugar and toffee finish that barely hints at some smoke. I think their tasting notes online say pineapple, but I've never smelled or tasted any pineapple in here.
great whisky for beginners or when you just fancy a little pear and apple baked tart :)
sweet and smooth scotch that taste great neat or on the rocks.
Great base line scotch for someone new to scotch drinking. For a veteran, its like catching up with an old friend.
smooth, not a bad scotch to try when first being introduced to single malts
Smooth, fruity. Taste like a scotch champagne.
smooth, slightly sweet and fruity
Smooth, nice finish
From Speyside the heart of Scotland, well know are for smooth flavour. And this is not exception to all those atributes. The 12 years Glenglivet is sweet to the nose, very smooth to paladar, you can sense some fruity or citrus flavour on it taste and perdures a fine taste. Very enjoyable for every occasion, always like to come back to this whiskey.

Best all-around Speyside for the budget-minded, and a good introductory single-malt for those new to scotch whisky.
