Show Notes:

 The Dufftown Glenlivet 8 year old Highland Malt Scotch Whisky

The Dufftown distillery has been in existence since 1896.  It is a large (12th in Scotland) distillery that keeps a low profile.  Currently it is owned by the Diageo group.  Most of its production goes into Bells Whisky the most popular blended whisky in the United Kingdom.  It still produces a 15 year old single malt.

I received a sample of the Dufftown Glenlivet 8 year old scotch.  This is what I found:

Color: Light yellow
Nose: Creamy & well rounded. Smells almost like a flower garden
Palate: Quiet and a little bitter
Finish: Some wood and tannins Sharp

Very interesting bouquet.  Not a great taste.  Not on my favorite list.

Hi there,

Fyi, Glenlivet is owned by Pernod Ricard, not by Diageo… but like you say, not that interesting a product, so in a way, who care.

Cheers !
