Glenleven 12 Year Old / Bot.1980s Highland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Luna Chavez — Solid but not spectacular

7/10

Nice enough whisky with some orchard fruit and a hint of spice, but at nearly a hundred quid I expected a bit more complexity for a blended malt. The finish is medium and pleasant. Good for what it is, just wouldn't rush to rebuy at this price.

Camila Ortiz — Solid but not spectacular

Olivia Park — Lovely old-style blend

8/10

Picked this up out of curiosity — a 1980s bottling of a 12-year-old blended malt at 43% is a proper time capsule. There's honey on the nose with a gentle peat smoke underneath that you just don't get in modern blends. Really enjoyable neat after dinner.

Daniel Torres — Lovely old-style blend

Penelope Hart — More of a curiosity piece

6/10

Interesting as a bit of whisky history but I found it a touch one-dimensional compared to what I normally drink. Light heather and some cereal notes, perfectly drinkable neat, but the flavour profile doesn't develop much in the glass. Wouldn't pay full price again.

Celeste Moreno — Nostalgia in a bottle

7/10

My dad used to drink blended malts like this back in the day so I grabbed it partly for sentimental reasons. It's well-made stuff with a gentle smokiness and some sweetness on the palate. Not the most complex whisky I own but it's one I keep reaching for on a quiet evening.
