Glenlivet Nàdurra 16, Bottled in 2007, Batch 0407C, 59.7%
Back in the day, when I still was innocent and unspoiled I bought a bottle of this at De Whiskykoning. I absolutely loved it, the fruitiness, the fierceness, the differentiation of what Glenlivet was known for. The entire package spoke … Continue reading

Glenlivet 12, The Original Stories – Illicit Still, 48%
I always have a bit of a chuckle when one of the biggest, most corporate distilleries in Scotland starts toting things like ‘Illicit Still’. This whisky is about 200 years removed from an illicit still at Glenlivet, but that doesn’t … Continue reading

Glenlivet 34, 1981-2016, Hogshead 9454, 51.1% – Signatory Vintage
So, when this was released in 2016 is accidentally was placed online at Master of Malt for just 100 quid. Of course, I instantly bought a bottle, and five minutes later it was taken offline, only to reappear at the … Continue reading

Secret Speyside 24, 1997-2022, 2 Refill Barrels, 50.3% – Thompson Brothers
Yet another undisclosed distillery. It is almost like that is a thing nowadays. This time it’s a Speyside one, just like yesterday. However, according to retailers, Whiskybase and most likely other sources of information, this is a bottling from Glenlivet. … Continue reading
Glenlivet 25, 1995-2020, American Oak Barrel 9480, 55.3% – OB for Jack Tar
‘OB for Jack Tar’ doesn’t really cover it, since it’s indeed an OB, but selected by La Maison du Whisky, under private label for Jack Tar, for the Chinese market. That doesn’t really fit the title, though. Anyway. Glenlivet is … Continue reading

Glenlivet 1949-1980s, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail ‘George & J.G. Smith’s’
A while ago I got a surprise sample with an order from Best of Wines in Bussum. Apparently they had gotten some open bottles when buying a collection and this was one of them. If memory serves, that is. Of … Continue reading

Glenlivet 26, 1977, 52.9% – Kingsbury
It’s not often you come across a bottle of anything from Kingsbury. It being a bottler from Japan, and such. And it becomes even more rare when it’s such an old Glenlivet. This 26 year old whisky must, logically, have … Continue reading
Smith’s Glenlivet 1974, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Rare Vintage
Glenlivet doesn’t pop up all that often in independent bottlings. Also is it not quite on the radar of the usual suspects I taste whisky with. The result of that is, of course, that I don’t try many Glenlivets. This … Continue reading

Glenlivet 1998, 15yo, 54.8% – Signatory for Whiskybrother
It doesn’t happen often that I get to review a Glenlivet. I’m not entirely sure why that is because there’s plenty of their booze out there, but it’s just one of those big brands that I somehow never drink. Glenfiddich … Continue reading
