The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 750ml

The Glenlivet 12 Year is the Speyside malt most people meet first, and it earns that job. Distilled in Ballindalloch and matured for twelve years, mostly in ex-American oak, it drinks clean rather than heavy: orchard fruit, a little vanilla, and soft cereal sweetness.

Pour it neat, or add a splash of water if you want the fruit to open. It also holds up in a highball. This listing is the 750ml bottle — the size to keep on the bar.
