Taste note

  • Colour:

    Pale Gold

  • Nose:

    Fresh and fruity, with lively notes of ripe pears, crisp green apples, and zesty citrus. These bright aromas are balanced by a subtle layer of creamy toffee and vanilla, accompanied by a gentle hint of floral heather and soft oak.

  • Palate:

    Smooth and light on the palate, with an initial burst of sweet fruit—think juicy orchard apples and ripe peaches—followed by creamy toffee and a touch of malted barley. A delicate hint of caramelized sugar and a whisper of spice add complexity, making it both easy-drinking and flavorful.

  • Finish:

    Medium-length and pleasantly sweet, with lingering notes of vanilla, soft fruit, and a mild touch of oak. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a gentle warmth that invites another sip.

  • Conclusion:

    Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a smooth and approachable whisky that captures the essence of Glenlivet’s signature style. Its bright fruitiness and creamy sweetness make it an ideal choice for those new to single malts or anyone seeking an easy-going dram for everyday enjoyment. A whisky that balances simplicity with character, perfect for any occasion.
