Like so often the nose promises more than the palate can deliver. The intriguing sweet and fruity aromas are somewhat buried in wood spice. – Rating: 82/100

A very interesting mix of sherry and floral aromas, quite sharp on nose and palate. – Rating: 85/100

Very dense flavours here that are difficult to dissect. This is rather different from today’s 12 yo, much drier and a little less fruity. Very good stuff. – Rating: 86/100

A rather typical sherried Glenlivet that has a very nice flavour base, but the wood is a bit too dominant for my taste. – Rating: 84/100

Glenlivet Master Distiller’s Reserve

April 21, 2012

A nice whisky of the Daily Dram category, not boasting overwhelming complexity but a quite pleasant sippability – Rating: 80/100

Glenlivet Founders Reserve

April 20, 2012

The first moments on the palate are wonderful, but the flavours fade away rather quickly. It has an gentle sherry influence that does not dominate the spirit. – Rating: 85/100

This is a quintessential Glenlivet fruit bomb at full strength, highly enjoyable and affordably priced. – Rating: 87/100

Glenlivet 1996/2011 Signatory

April 16, 2012

If it wasn’t for that somewhat weakish finish, I would call this a great sherried dram. – Rating: 84/100

Glenlivet 33 yo 1977 Blackadder

March 31, 2012

The age doesn’t really show here, a nice and clean Glenlivet in the typical house style. – Rating: 84/100

Glenlivet 1995/2011 Signatory

A rather rich sherry dram with already quite a bit of wood for its age. The finish could be a little longer, though. – Rating: 84/100

Glenlivet 1977/2010 The Whisky Cask

December 4, 2011

This is a typical Glenlivet with all trademark flavour elements. The cask influence after 33 years is not disturbing, but just at the perfect level to make it a high class dram. – Rating: 90/100

A very nice combination of fruit and spice. This whisky may look pale, but it has strong inner values. – Rating: 84/100

Strong apple notes as well as the sweet and creamy overall character make this malt a typical Glenlivet. It is a very high quality whisky with a great richness of flavours. – Rating: 88/100

Glenlivet 1994/2009 Adelphi

January 2, 2011

This sherried Glenlivet needs some water to calm it down. Quite richly flavoured overall, but the nose is a bit pungent and the palate lacks an aromatic counterpart to the spices. Good, but not great. – Rating: 82/100

Glenlivet 15 yo

The trademark fruity creaminess of Glenlivet is joined by nutty and caramel notes imparted by the French Oak casks. Very sippable – Rating: 83/100

This creamy and fruity malt is a very nice entry level dram, but it also offers enough complexity to satisfy more experienced palates. – Rating: 81/100

Glenlivet 1996/2009 Old Malt Cask

October 7, 2010

You don’t find younger sherried Glenlivetes very often, and this is quite a fine specimen. Rich and fruity with a nice spicniess that is just about right. – Rating: 84/100

A very nice and complex malt that should be enjoyed slowly. Needs quite a bit of water to soften the alcohol bite. – Score: 84/100
