Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve 1824

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55.4%

Score: 94 Points

Only 1,824 bottles were produced to mark the distillery’s expansion in 2010. Officially, it carries no age statement, but is a 21-year-old malt with a predominance of sherry casks. The nose is creme brulee, vanilla, pears, and peaches, while the taste has a great mouthfeel. Soft spices work well with a hint of caramel, figs, and dark chocolate. Water opens up subtle citrus notes, especially lemon zest. The finish is spicy, nutty, and lingering with a touch of cinnamon.
