Conclusion:
Its a decent smooth single malt from The Glenlivet. The low ABV feels like its watered down too much. no real complexity and its a beginners dram. The whisky feels light and thin in the mouth. The Rum casks are in the back ground and there are more bourbon influence present. We don't know how old this single malt is, but by the taste of it its young. Also we don't know how long the finish of the rum casks are and by the taste of that it's relatively young as well. It does smell and taste like a smooth summer and tropical whisky. The price and quality of the whisky is also decent. Don't expect too much or you will get disappointed.
