The Glenlivet

I don't usually drink much--a little wine once in a while, that's all. But I saw a sampler of The Glenlivet and figured I'd give it a try. Twelve year old single malt.
80 proof gets your attention, if you're not used to it. I suppose there are complexities to the taste, but if you go from "hm, tastes like fire" to "hm, mah tongue id numb", I'm not quite certain how you'd appreciate them.

The Glenlivet, very complex flavors and nose. Perhaps too long a finish for a first timer and definitely way too hot on the end. If you ever do it again, try Craggenmore 12. Lighter and soft at the finish. Although it's not near as sweet. Glenlivet is one of my personal favorites, though. Two fingers. Straight.

The best way to appreciate it is sipping it slowly and a very little at a time. It's not mezcal.

Salud!
