Glenlivet 12 Year-Old
70cl
The perfect example of the floral, grassy and fruity Speyside style. This Glenlivet is soft and delicate, perhaps lacking in the challenging flavours of more richly flavoured malt, but very smooth and crisp tasting. I would normally hesitate to add ice to a single malt but this is just superb slightly chilled as a refreshing and delicate aperitif.
