To the nose the Glenlivet boasts of honey and fruits such as dried apples while vanilla and pineapple follow through with the taste. The Glenlivet 12 is matured in American and European oak barrels and is distilled at the Glenlivet distillery out of the Speyside.
Typically you will find a 750 ml bottle of the Glenlivet 12 for about $40-$45 with some people claiming they have found this at local grocers for $30. If you find this for $30, you need to pick up several bottles as this is a fantastic price.
