Product Description

As people go, George Smith was no ordinary man. After he licensed his whisky in 1824, he battled against all odds and established his smooth fruity Glenlivet as the definitive taste of Speyside. What George started continues to inspire our makers to create whiskies that are enjoyed by all far and wide. Vibrantly gold in colour, this whisky entices you in. A silky, vanilla sweetness dances across your palate, followed by rich fruit and subtle marzipan spice intensifying your flavour experience. Nose: Vibrant aromas of summer meadows and tropical fruits, notably pineapple. Palate: Floral notes, smooth and sweet fruit notes of fresh peaches and pears, vanilla. Finish: Marzipan and fresh hazelnuts.

Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2019
Entered as The Glenlivet 12 Years Old Single Malt ScotchLook for a honey hue and super-fresh, bright orchard fruit aromas. The drying palate shows oak and vanilla, plus darker hints of espresso and clove. The finish is lifted by a pleasing hint of lemon cream pie. Sip or mix.

Entered as The Glenlivet 12 Years OldThe palate echoes the pear note, surrounding it with almond and oak. It winds into a long and drying finish accented with dark chocolate, black pepper tingle and a whisper of smoke.
90 ptsDecember 2011wineenthusiast.com ↗
Entered as The Glenlivet 12 Years of AgeVibrant gold with orange highlights, fruity scent of apples and pears plus a whiff of vanilla. Soft, velvety feel. This is a pleasant and drinkable Scotch, but the flavors are relatively muted.
ReviewNovember 2008wineenthusiast.com ↗
Entered as The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Speyside Single Malt WhiskyOff-dry malted barley and light toffee smells greet the olfactory sense along with flowery fragrances of heather, rose petal and pine. … the midpalate is mellow, malty, fruity (white raisins, apricots) and sophisticated. … Remains the Speyside benchmark.
Falstaff · August 2019
A fruity, nutty base contains a delicate, well-integrated smoky note. Slightly peppery on the palate with hints of roasted malt. Long-lasting finish.

IWSC judges · Silver · 2024
Spicy fruit aromatic profile gives way to a lively palate of vanilla toffee and fruit, balanced by a hint of bitterness. Floral and pastry notes across the palate.

A gentle aroma of soft fruit fondant leads to a creamy palate of cereal and green banana notes, finishing with soft hints of icing sugar.
Whisky Advocate · Gavin Smith · 2020
The nose yields orange and lime, canned pineapple, and light caramel notes. Elegant, with some substance on the palate, with vanilla and brittle toffee underpinned by vibrant orchard fruits, honey, and milk chocolate.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The Glenlivet has pleasant aromas of toasted cereal, pears, and honey. The finish has more honey and vanilla but the whisky doesn't stay with you for the long haul. And that's okay.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Bronze · 2026
Apples, strawberries and cream, tinned clementines, orange diluting juice with slight burnt match in the background. The palate has raisins, dried fruits, honey, orange club biscuits and a hint of honeycomb.
