The Glenlivet 12 Year Old is one of the most recognizable and beloved single malts from Scotland’s Speyside region, known for its bright, accessible style and smooth, polished character. Crafted from pure spring water and matured in a mix of American oak and European oak casks, it offers a gentle, crowd-pleasing expression of classic Scotch whisky.
On the nose, expect aromas of honeyed pear, citrus blossom, and soft vanilla, underpinned by a whisper of malt and fresh apple. The palate is clean and creamy, with flavors of orchard fruit, light toffee, and a subtle nuttiness, leading to a soft, elegant finish with just a touch of oak spice.
Glenlivet 12 remains a benchmark for those new to Scotch and a comforting favorite for seasoned whisky lovers alike—perfect for sipping neat, with a splash of water, or in simple whisky-forward cocktails.
Pair with: mild cheeses, smoked salmon, apple tarts, or just a quiet evening with good conversation.
