The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Single Malt Whisky 70cl
Product information
Our founder, George Smith, instilled a culture of creativity within our brand DNA and with The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve, we have once again challenged the status quo. At The Glenlivet we are always looking at new ways to explore different flavours to break old whisky conventions. After experimenting with Cognac casks in the past, it seemed only natural that we would set our sights on other cask experiments and rum barrels were next. By bringing rum barrels and Scotch together for the first time in our history, we have brought some bold and tropical Caribbean flavours to our traditional Speyside style.

Fabulously different
It's fruity and smooth yet very easy to drink. Hints of rum add to a great taste. Not disappointed and far better than I was expecting
Scotland meets the Caribbean.
While regularly drinking single malts matured in Sherry Casks, this is a first to have single malts matured in Rum Casks. The result is not at all unpleasant, the drink gains a more honeyed sweet taste with hints of apple & pear, there is then a n overall taste of dark sugars & spices like cinnamon, finally ending with a sweet almost tropical fruit finish. May not be perfect for single malt purists, but be open minded & you may like it.. I have tried it on it's own over ice as well as with a splash of coconut water & actually both are nice.
A new addition to my permanent cabinet
This whiskey has a unique flavour profile that I've not really ever had before. It has a nice strong fruity presence, especially in its aftertaste. My only criticism is the fruity flavours are lost quite quickly after opening. But this won't be a huge problem as you'll be finishing the bottle so quickly anyway. Pairs really well with its recommended cocktail 'Tartan Tiki', which are very easy to sink back with the combination of pineapple and bitter. Definitely worth picking up when on offer!
Smooth and Sweet
Having been told about this drink by a friend I have been trying to get a bottle of this for some time but sells out quite quickly, now I have managed to get a bottle with my Christmas order I wasn't disappointed...This Single Malt is so smooth and had quite a sweet taste to it which when added to the rum undertones made it really easy to drink more than one would have expected.
Excellent single malt
Excellent single malt whiskey with a smooth, silky flavour and hint of the Caribbean. Highly recommended.
Smooth
This is a really good quality, smooth whiskey. Not peaty like some. Slight hint of rum undertones.
