When I have a quite moment for myself, it is my drink. It has a character, strongly and manly enough and soft and sophisticated enough. There are many great scotches and bourbons, Glenlivet is really quintessential.

However, as you have astutely pointed out, it is very good value for money. I'd like to make another suggestion: Glenlivet 18yrs A phenomenal scotch at a great price. Where I live most 18 yr old sinle malts are $20 more than the Glenlivet 18. A splendid single malt that is very complex. Try it with a teaspoon of water to a double pour. It will surprise you.

A phenomenal scotch at a great price. Where I live most 18 yr old sinle malts are $20 more than the Glenlivet 18. A splendid single malt that is very complex. Try it with a teaspoon of water to a double pour. It will surprise you.

Cheers!

This is my favorite go-to single malt, and one I was enjoying before I really become interested in whisky. One of the best price-quality ratios around. Luke, I completely agree with your review.

I do like the effect of the limousin casks: very noticeable in comparison to the typical bourbon casks. I'd call the effect creamy spiciness. That said, it is still highly balanced. It makes a good dessert dram, and would probably be a good first dram for a beginner. As an everyday drinker, I'm not sure it justifies the $20 price differential.

I don't know how much the 15 Year French Oak goes for in your area, but for me, it's about $8 more per bottle. I really like that one as a more interesting whisky for just a bit more money. Have you had a chance to compare the two? Thanks, Jeff I can’t argue with buying this one as an “everyday” malt.
