Whiskies from 'Glenlivet Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Glenlivet Distillery.

• The Glenlivet 12 Years Old

A pleasant any-time dram. Very refreshing.

• The Glenlivet 12 Years Old American Oak Finish

Lacks the subtlety of a more conventional Glenlivet, but will charm some consumers with a richer, creamier, style. Very drinkable indeed.

• The Glenlivet 12 Years Old First Fill Sherry Cask

Not much middle palate. Lacks roundness.

• The Glenlivet 12 Years Old, First Fill

• The Glenlivet 12 Years Old, French Oak Finish

The oak does not dominate, but is quite powerful for such an elegant malt.

• The Glenlivet 15 Years Old

A very pleasant summery dram. Quite fragile though. Water tends to wipe out flavours.

• The Glenlivet 15 Years Old French Oak Reserve

Complex. Entrancing.

• The Glenlivet 16 Years Old, Cask Strength

The rich fruity profile of Glenlivet blossoms at cask strength. So well balanced.

• The Glenlivet 18 Years Old

• The Glenlivet 1959 Cellar Collection

Vivid descriptors, but the flavours are very restrained. A most elegant whisky.

• The Glenlivet 1964 Cellar Collection

After that sensuous aroma, the palate is subtle to the point of reticence. Still interesting.

• The Glenlivet 1967 Cellar Collection

The Glenlivet is the fruitiest, most flowery and most delicate.

• The Glenlivet 1967 Vintage

Lots of flavour development. I enjoyed this one.

• The Glenlivet 1968 Vintage

Has the complexity I expect from The Glenlivet.

• The Glenlivet 1969 Cellar Collection

Magnificent, but I hate to think of the price!

• The Glenlivet 1969 Vintage

A little woody.

• The Glenlivet 1970 Vintage

Enjoyable, but I expected a little more.

• The Glenlivet 1972 Vintage

A little woody. Choice of cask?

• The Glenlivet 1983 Cellar Collection French Oak Finish

The oak does not totally dominate, but is powerful for such an elegant malt.

• The Glenlivet 21 Years Old Archive

A first-class malt, but I would like a little more structure and style.

• The Glenlivet 21 Years Old Archive

Slightly sweeter, fuller and more structured than an earlier (younger) version with no age statement.

• The Glenlivet 25 Years Old

Just needs a little more in the middle.

• The Glenlivet 30 Years Old American Oak Finish

Who would have thought that finishing in American oak could add so much? The Glenlivet character is showcased not overwhelmed.

• The Glenlivet Nadurra

Delicate to the point of reticence.

• William Cadenhead Craigellachie Glenlivet 12 Years Old

Saved by the water and though too insubtantial to get a high mark would make a good aperitif.
