The sting of not enjoying this bottle is lessened by the fact that I got it as part of my Flaviar Subscription. Sunk cost fallacy aside I can convince myself it was “free”. So there’s that.

Glenlivet Bottler Distillery Bottling Bottling serie Rum Barrel Selection Bottled 24.03.2021 Casktype Oak, part finished in Ex-Caribbean Rum barrel Strength 40.0 % Vol. Size 700 ml 700 ml 700 ml 700 ml 700 ml 700 ml Bottle code LKZR1612 Barcode 5000299627471 Added on 24 feb 2021 9:49 pm by GlenM56 In 2019, two in every three visitors to Scotch whisky distilleries or their visitors centres were international visitors (SWA, 2019). So, did they come to see Scotland, and whisky is a part of that? Or have they come for the golden liquid, and the country is just the place that makes it? So, Scotland’s visiting tourists impact heavily on the Scotch whisky industry, and as a product Scotch whisky hits heavily on the world’s trading market, so really my opening sentence should not have been a question but a statement of fact: Scotland makes and sells the stuff, and because of that, people visit. Appearance: There is no appreciable difference in color between Caribbean Reserve or Founder’s Reserve or The Glenlivet 12. The coloring in all three is due to E150a. This additive colorant gives a “golden” hue to each of these pours, which has been fined tuned into a pleasing color for those who don’t really know the difference between real and fake when it comes to Scotch.Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. One ‘R’, Two ‘B’s… One ‘R’, Two ‘B’s…” I misspell “Caribbean” so often that I had to repeat this in my head like a mantra while writing. I now have “One R Two Bs” sing-songing in my head on repeat like a Dr. Seuss rhyme. What was I doing again? Unsurprisingly, this release is bottled at the bare minimum 40% ABV. Which, yes, does make light-and-fruity Speysiders like this taste watery. Give me 46% or give me… well, bourbon.
