With an impressive nod from the Amazon crowd too, racking up a 4.8 out of 5 stars average from over 10,400 reviews, its reputation is solid. One chuffed customer gave it five stars, remarking: "I keep a bottle on the shelf as it's a reliable, gentle and flavoursome malt which can be bought at a bargain price," adding that "It has the flavours of yellow fruits with an oaky element. It has none of the sharp or sour tastes that can be found in many young whiskies and the alcohol kick is well controlled."
"The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterpiece that upholds the brand's legacy with pride," gushed one particularly effusive five-star review. "Its timeless elegance, rich flavour profile, smooth texture, balanced complexity, and versatile enjoyment make it a standout choice among single malts", reports the Express.
Another satisfied customer remarked: "It has a clean taste, smooth and warm with no sharp bite. Smells great in a Glencairn and looks a lovely amber colour. A little expensive but its a good bottle for a special gift."
However, not all whisky aficionados are convinced, with some debate stirring amongst purists and enthusiasts. "Disappointingly flat aroma and taste, from the first sniff to now halfway down the bottle," lamented a less impressed three-star critic.
"Do not make my mistake and have high expectations based upon other Glenlivet experiences."
Echoing this sentiment, another added: "I'm afraid this doesn't live up to expectations, for me anyway. Coming from such a highly regarded producer of malt whisky I was surprised by how harsh it tasted. Now if you really want a descent malt whisky look no further than Laphroiag quarter cask. It is truly wonderful! ".
For those keen on exploring different twists on classic spirits, Jack Daniels' Gentleman Jack comes recommended at £20. And for an intriguing alternative, the Burnt Ends Blended Whisky is available at Debenhams for £29.93.
