It's been over a year since Pernod Ricard announced the Founder's Reserve as the replacement for the Glenlivet 12yo. It's high time to review it on Words of Whisky.
As an appetizer to Gordon & MacPhail's forthcoming release of the oldest Scotch whisky in the world, I take a closer look at three different Glenlivet from 2004, 2003, and 1976.
This obviously isn't the exact same as the original 21yo of The Glenlivet. But I know which one I would pick given the choice. Gordon & MacPhail have done a wonderful job here.
Two recent exclusives from The Whisky Exchange, released in conjuction with Gordon & MacPhail. Similar in age, but very different in style, the Glenturret and Glenlivet sit at either end of the non-peated whisky spectrum.
