Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 12/2015Delicate and complex, this newly released Scotch boasts scents of maple sugar and spice, and unfurls on the palate with a distinctly floral start that evolves into creamy vanilla, honey, sarsaparilla and baking spice. Light and silky, it almost feels effervescent on the tongue, finishing with a perky herbal note reminiscent of hops. *Editors' Choice* (KN)

Notes
Boasting the classic flavours of The Glenlivet bound up in a creamy, smooth texture, The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Malt Scotch is a tribute to the one who started it all. George Smith, Glenlivet’s founder, was a trailblazer with an irrepressible spirit. The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that he first envisioned in 1824 and for which Glenlivet is still renowned today. And because it remains as dedicated to innovation as its founder ever was, this classic single malt has been given a contemporary twist. The result is an exceptionally well-balanced and smooth single malt. On the nose there are delicate aromas of citrus fruit, while the palate is sweet, with notes of oranges and pears, and hints of toffee apples and candy. The long, creamy, smooth finish makes this a deliciously satisfying expression.
