Glenlivet Founders Reserve 750ml

DESCRIPTION

Founder’s Reserve is a wonderfully smooth and creamy dram which has been aged in First Fill American Oak Casks, which retains a balance with the zesty flavours.

There is no age statement on these bottles, just like the very earliest bottles of The Glenlivet. The lack of age statement allowed Smith to draw from different cask ages, and that freedom has been replicated to take advantage of the distinctive pre-aging character created by the unique lantern shaped stills used at the distillery.

Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: A typically fruity Glenlivet note is the strongest first impression, but sweet aromas of candy and toffee surface to create a very pleasant combination.

Palate: Follows neatly from the nose, again wonderfully sweet and smooth; almost creamy. Comforting tastes such as toffee apple and pear drops invoke a pleasant sensation. This is followed by a burst of fruit; orange and other bold citrus fruits fight for centre stage.

Finish: Impressively sustained finish which lingers on those sweet, smooth tastes and welcoming aromas.
