Glenlivet 10 2006 Signatory Un-Chillfiltered Collection

Thanks to /u/bradbobaggin for sharing this sample with me. We’ve all had Glenlivet at some point. It’s really a turning point for whisky nerds. If you tried a standard release of Glenlivet (be it the old age stated, or the rum aged one from this summer, or a NAS release) you either decided it was inexpensive and […]

Glenlivet 28 1968 Signatory Vintage

So three months ago it was my birthday. Each year I typically do a write up where I go out and try something legendary, and then four more things. Well, this year was a bit different. First off, I decided to hit up Allen’s, what with some people I know writing reviews from there. Second of […]

Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish

Thanks to /u/kinohead for this sample. A long time ago I had this crazy idea: No, not to post a mystery advent calendar two months late. It’s Day #23, by the way. No, I wanted to review all of the different Glenlivet Nàdurra in one go. And then they came out super slowly. Also, there hasn’t been […]

Glenlivet 2001 Gordon & MacPhail Smiths Edition

One thing I’ve had a habit of doing, prior to elaborate tastings, is sit down and pour a primer dram. As I’ve been quite busy the last few months, my wife and I have missed a few date nights. Many would expect a date night at Ardbeg Day to be a little silly and something […]

Glenlivet Cipher

Thanks to /u/Davyj0nes for this sample. I’m on the fence as to what to think about the Glenlivet Mystery line. No, it’s not officially called that. I’m just calling it that. For those of you not in the know (don’t feel bad, I myself only just read about the three releases), Glenlivet has a puckish side. Or […]

Glenlivet 8 2006 Signatory Vintage (Binny’s Beverage Depot Pick)

Thanks to scotchguy_to for sharing this sample! I’m going to start with an apology on this one. When we were figuring out the order, we typically leave peat last, with very few exceptions. And we know that scotchguy_to knows his whisky. His nose puts mine and various bloodhounds to shame. However this was something we […]

Glenlivet 21 Archive

Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. At my wedding, we made sure there was an open bar, plenty to drink, and a nice selection of different beers, wines, and alcohol. That didn’t stop our MC from bringing his plus 1. Which would normally have nothing to do with the alcohol unless she was a drunk. No, you […]

Multiple Mystery Whiskies

As part of one of the many whisky groups I’m part of, we all decided we’d be dicks to one another, but in a nice way. So we all showed up, each with 2 whiskies: One we want empty and one mystery. And then, without knowing the order, and leaving that up to /u/31mak , we drank […]

Glenlivet XXV

Thanks to /u/Tsefly for this sample. Been a busy couple of weeks. And not “I gotta catch’em all” busy, that just started, and can be managed easily enough. No, more like “I want to get off Summer’s wild ride”, which sounds awesome at first. Summer sounds like a real goer. Unfortunately, if you’re like me, […]

Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter

Thanks to /u/Phreaky-Zee for this sample. I work in marketing. Now that you’re done yelling at your screen and downvoting me, I’ll continue. One thing that pops up from time to time in marketing is the idea of “sourcing” ideas from your fans. Some of these have turned out well. Lays Potato Chips has a […]
