88 / 100
The fresh citrus and light touch of vanilla give this Glenlivet a bright opening, while the palate’s malty, creamy body adds welcome weight. I like that contrast more than a profile built around sheer richness. Peach carries into a graceful, long finish, giving the whisky a gentle point of difference without pulling focus from the citrus. A measured, appealing character, with enough texture to keep it from feeling simple.
