Expert Review

7/10

Part of The Glenlivet's Reserve range targeting newer whisky drinkers. Finished in ex-Caribbean rum barrels, giving it a tropical, fruity twist. NAS, 40%. Smooth, sweet, and approachable — but experienced reviewers find it thin and lacking depth. A gateway Scotch for rum and cocktail drinkers, not for malt enthusiasts.
