Whisky Magazine Issue 10
Small batch bourbon - The Glenlivet - Grain Whisky - Focus on Canada.
Published June 2000.
Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Real bourbon vanilla, with a touch of candy-store sweetness.
- Palate
- Firm, malty, sweet. Some malty fruitiness (apricot?). A suggestion of cilantro.
- Finish
- Liquorice. Rooty.
- Comment
- Less structured than might be expected in a 12 Years Old, but a perilously drinkable, appetising bourbon.
Jim Murray
95- Nose
- Just about nudging perfection: salty but balanced infused with delicate fruity notes.
- Palate
- Rye hits every corner of the mouth: light oils and myriad oaky, complex notes to the roof.
- Finish
- Slow build up of slightly molassed sweetness and vanilla leaves a lingering, smoky, phenolic finale.
- Comment
- This (along with Evan Williams 12) is the finest whisky from the house of Heaven Hill.
