This weekend I have had to spend in airplanes. Luckily I was on a British airways flight and got served Whiskey.
As I have had time I thought whey not, did some testing up in the Air. Yes, the environment is not perfect but it was a unique possibility and as well a first for me to do whiskey testing up in the air.
A fine whiskey, from the tradition-conscious house of Glenlivet Distillery. The Scottish whiskey distillery gives a great pleasure. The clear glass of the curved bottle, in combination with the Bordeaux-colored seal really looks impressive. The familiar high-quality and exclusive outer packaging adds to that and even hard-boiled whiskey experts marvel.
With its 40%, the whiskey accounts for a good alcohol content, and in terms of taste is light and salubrious. Notwithstanding the 15-year aging time, a mild companion which is especially recommended for beginners.
Novices in the field of whiskey pleasure are enthusiastic about the fine, mild performance and can gradually step up. Fine plates notice the small diverse nuances in the flavor of the precious drink. Instead of a harsh and emphasized flavor of alcohol, as you find with stronger varieties, you will be surprised by the light taste of fruit and vanilla.
The Glenlivet Distillery
It was the first legal distilling business and was founded by 1823 by George Smith. It was not until the year 1880 that the family acquired the right to the name "The Glenlivet". However, today the brand belongs to Pernod Ricard. The business bought up the remnants of the distillery and these days can still avail itself of the success of the former family. In 12 stills about 8.5 million liters of the popular whiskey are manufactured year after year. Incidentally, Glenlivet obtains the malt it uses unpeated, and for storage and aging former bourbon and sherry casks are used.
The bottom line for Glenlivet 15 year Highland Pure Malt:
An elegant single malt with a certain something that makes you want more. The relationship of price to performance is irreproachable at barely 50 USD. The distinctive drop is worth every dime. No later than in the finish, the single malt convinces even the greatest skeptics and attends with its light, nutty note.
Overall, a first-class whiskey, created in the Highlands of Scotland. Those who dare something more or who prefer it stronger should try the older 18 years.
And thanks for following me :)
