Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы сходятся на том, что это крепкий, но не выдающийся виски с выраженной дубовой и ванильно-фруктовой нотой; многие отмечают, что он лучше стандартного 12-летнего за счёт 43% и бочек из американского дуба.

развернуть подробно

В носовых описаниях чаще всего повторяются фрукты (яблоко, груша, цитрус, иногда экзотические ноты), ваниль, мёд и дуб; несколько отзывов отдельно выделяют сладкий, мягкий и сбалансированный аромат как лучшую часть впечатления. Во вкусе преобладают ваниль, мёд, карамель, фрукты и заметная древесность, при этом часть отзывов указывает на слишком сильное влияние свежего дуба, горечь и недостаток глубины или мощности; финиш в основном описывают как средний или средне-длинный, с дубовой пряностью, иногда с ореховыми и горьковатыми нотами. Относительно консенсуса: несколько отзывов прямо сравнивают этот виски со стандартным 12-летним и считают его заметно лучше, ссылаясь на 43% и бочки из американского дуба, тогда как другие называют его просто «solid» и предупреждают, что не стоит ждать чего-то исключительного. Общей оценки «экспертного консенсуса» здесь нет — это набор личных впечатлений, в которых совпадают отдельные ноты и общая характеристика «крепкий, но не особенный».

Nice, woody nose. Aromas of apple, dates, grapes, everything very subtle. Marshmallows first appear in the mouth, a beautiful sweetie, Chewing gum, and here too a subtle woody note. It's really good!

I've read "solid" a few times, and I think that sums it up pretty well. Anyone expecting something exceptional here will likely be disappointed. The whisky smells convincing, but the taste is mediocre at best. Nevertheless, it offers a great opportunity to try "Virgin Oak" for a modest price.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	85	Beautiful sweet fruity notes, plus a generous portion of vanilla from the first-fill American oak barrels. The fruit notes are slightly exotic, with pineapple being the most obvious. Oak notes are also present. Great smell!
Вкус	76	This one becomes very woody. The oak spice is quite strong in the flavor. Despite expecting virgin oak, it's too much of a good thing for my taste. Another negative aspect is that the fruity notes from the nose are almost completely absent. The oak seems to overwhelm everything.
Финиш	78	The finish has a nutty note, is medium-long and also dominated by wood.

If you give it some time in the glass: A very pronounced honey nose, almost perfumed. The taste doesn't keep up and the only 43% is surprisingly aggressive. You can tell the 12 years in the nose, but not in the taste. Medium long finish. A bottle for just under 40 euros is fine, but not a candidate for repurchase.

Even though I'm not a big fan of the brand, I have to say that this whisky is one of the most boring and Premňa is a big disappointment, let's not even talk about the price tag... Vanilla, bourbon profile with a hint of old wood and apricots. The taste is strange, low-quality and strange...

bl0wb4ck Expert Senior 84 23 mar 2024 1:41 am

Significantly better than the standard 12yo. A solid beginner for the price, but it won't tear up trees either.

- a good "new" 12 year old Glenlivet, but I see an 8 in front not here... - the 3% more than the usual 12 years suits him well - significantly spicier and more powerful than the regular “normal” Standard Glenlivet 12 years - aromatic good whisky in above-average middle range - for about 45€ an honest good 12 year old whisky => Buy recommendation!

LongPourAmourBlog Expert Senior 81 07 mar 2024 10:54 am

A decent dram, for sure, but not one I will often pour in my tulip glass. Rather in a tumbler, watching my favourite football team play in the Champions League, such an occasion. Read my impressions on https://whisky-odyssey.com/TASTING-NOTES/The-Glenlivet-200th-anniversary/

schengel10 Connoisseur 79 19 oct 2025 8:26 pm

...I'm not giving it an 8, but in my whisky world, it's a very, very decent malt, significantly better than the regular 12; the first-fill American oak casks and the 3% increase in alcohol really do it good – super value for money; a pleasing return to the roots...

I'm a fan of the 12 Livets. Almost no matter the composition, alcohol strength or decade. I can relate to all of them. And I also like the fruity smell of this anniversary edition. That goes in the direction of a very old bourbon barrel or an old Irish one. The taste and finish lack a little depth, but the alcohol is well integrated and the attack is oily. For me it closes the gap between the 40 and 46 Livets. Great! My sweet spot and therefore points of sympathy.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	Exotic canned fruits and a syrupy sugar sweetness. For a Livet, no floral notes, but the distinctive pear. For the voluminous appearance, there is surprisingly little wood in the smell.
Вкус	88	Oily start. Honey-sweet and almost artificially fruity. Now also some wood, ginger biscuits and ripe pears.
Финиш	86	Pleasant finish, with honey and that artificial fruitiness. Here, in addition to the floral notes, I also find some wood, with a slight tendency to bitterness.

Saftkenner Connoisseur 84 18 jan 2025 11:18 am

A solid bottling, the nose of which I like best by far. I'd rather not think about whether it's worthy of a 200-year anniversary...

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	Overall quite simple, but very fruity and balanced. Vanilla, ripe apples, pickled pears, caramel, orange peel, licorice, light mineral notes, lemon balm, oak spice.
Вкус	83	Slightly creamy on the palate. The sour notes are a little more prominent here. Vanilla, apples, oranges, lemons, a hint of anise, lemon balm, toffee, oak spice.
Финиш	83	Vanilla, apples, pears, citrus notes, toffee, milk chocolate, oak spice.

When I first started getting into whisky over 15 years ago, I really liked the then-standard Glenlivet 12, because of its balance and smoothness. But for a long time now, Glenlivet has only very rarely found its way into my glass. Frankly, Pernod Ricard's corporate philosophy doesn't align with my expectations for whisky. Nevertheless, I wanted to give this 12-year-old another chance, since it was bottled at 43% ABV (even if, due to the strong influence of virgin oak, it's obviously no match for the aforementioned old 12-year-old standard). And yes, it's pleasant to drink and offers what you'd expect: a solid whisky without any particularly outstanding or negative characteristics. But it's nothing special that would make me flock back to the distillery with a vengeance. Tried Glenlivet again, ticked off the list. An aromatic bottling, but unfortunately also completely lacking in power, which they unsuccessfully tried to mask with fresh wood. Nobody really needs this. I'd rather get back to proper whisky. Maybe I'll revisit it for the next anniversary, or if Glenlivet ever gives their bottlings a real quality boost (46%, no added coloring or chill filtration). But that's unlikely to happen.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	81	Very fresh and lively on the nose, with notes of green and yellow fruits: apple, pear, and quince. Freshly cut garden herbs, with a hint of sweet vanilla in the background. A classic bourbon nose that isn't overpowering.
Вкус	79	Toasted caramel and creamy-sweet honey. Spices are only subtly perceptible as a slightly bitter undertone. Very pleasing, almost understated and mild. Only with the second sip does a distinct woodiness become noticeable. And at that point, unfortunately, it starts to feel tingly and unbalanced.
Финиш	80	Sweet caramel notes and a hint of heather. These are joined by a tingling oak spice from the fresh wood. You either love it or hate it. A medium-long, pleasant finish that then drifts into a tart, bitter note. This virgin oak moment is perhaps a bit too dominant for my taste towards the end.

The Glenlivet reminiscent of diluted Nadurra series - the scent alone is worth 40 euros. Although the taste and finish could not overcome the low ABV, there is a definite improvement over the regular 12-year-old. If you do not expect much beyond the retail price, this is surely a daily dram that will satisfy you.

Нос	80	Lots of fresh white oak, vanilla, and caramel. Roasted grain aromas. Sweet, floral. Orange and grapefruit. Lots of pear and green apple.
Вкус	82	Slightly oily. Lots of white oak right off the bat, accompanied by sweet vanilla pudding. White pepper. Orange. Anise. A little honey. Light acidity on the side.
Финиш	82	Medium length. No difference in taste. Lots of white oak (now also drying out). Vanilla. Orange. Anise. Honey. Sour notes.

In a direct comparison of the 12-year vs. the NAS (Founders Reserve), the 12-year has a slight edge. https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/246157/glenlivet-12-year-old#leave-a-review 86 https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/267767/glenlivet-founders-reserve 84
