Glenlivet 12 Year Old

General description

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.

General description

Simple whisky that is nonoffensive, but not memorable. Goes down easy, but is flat on the finish.

General description

A malty and fruity every day dram. Gentle, with plenty of apple and vanilla. An excellent introduction to Scotch.

General description

very nice and casual drink for everyday sipping... very smooth and easy to understand

General description

Zacht in het begin, eik in de nasmaak

General description

fris en fruitig , eik en alcohol nasmaak

General description

uninspiring. I keep it in my collection as a base level when I host Scotch nights.

General description

classic

General description

Clear, clean, sweet, with oak finish and a hint of alcohol burn.

General description

Full smooth flavor, mostly vanilla with hint of spice.

General description

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.

Nose

Fruit, vanilla.

Palate

Well balanced, perhaps a bit sweet. Not too complex, easy to drink.

Finish

Relatively smooth with a medium finish.

A fine, simple dram. Nothing stellar or complicated, yet smooth and enjoyable.

Silky smooth on the palate. Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water. Floral & fruity.

General description

licht rokerig en zoetig met een duidelijk vanille tint. een goeie instapper voor de beginnende whiskey drinker

General description

its approachable and light. another easy intro into scotch

General description

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.

General description

reliable very drinkable but but not remarkable.

General description

Pretty sour for my taste, a good mixer but not as enjoyable straight

General description

Floral, fruity, sweet. Very easy drinking. No intensity. No sharp edges. Maybe som pears or apples.

General description

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.

Sweet up front, malty. Becomes spicy with water, but breaks down quickly.

Finish

Malt, very mild smoke.

General description

Sweet taste, usually I prefer smokey flavor, which this lacks, but stilla very good whiskey

General description

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.

General description

Enjoyable. Nose gave hints of honey and butterscotch/toffee. Prefer neat, but a few drops of water brought out more character.

General description

dark fruit influence typical of a sherried cask. mild sweetness on tge palate with some oak influence. finish is moderste

General description

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.

For some reason this had a sort of numbing or antiseptic affect on my tongue.

pretty standard speyside whiskey. light, fruity, appley, a touch of orange, and light malt notes. No heat whatsoever.

General description

Good single malt to start with

General description

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.

General description

good

General description

Great smooth taste

General description

good starter, smooth taste

General description

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

General description

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.

General description

A good starter scotch and every day drinker. Very smooth and a pleasant finish.

General description

great taste. a bit hard. good value for money

General description

Spicy but not over the top

General description

Smooth and delicate taste.

General description

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.

Nose

Honey, meadish nose

Palate

Medium palate with some heat

Finish

cooked apples/pears with honey

General description

Good baseline whiskey. Not too sweet or complex

General description

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.

General description

great whisky for beginners or when you just fancy a little pear and apple baked tart :)

General description

sweet and smooth scotch that taste great neat or on the rocks.

General description

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.
