I’m not quite sure where this fits in the market. I assumed it was introduced in the US as a cocktail whisky with the bourbon casks, but they seem to be marketing a lot of Glenlivet 12 year cocktails instead. Also it’s usually either the same price or slightly cheaper than the 12 year double oak in the states. Personally I find this one is much nicer in cocktails, sherry finished whisky can be weird in cocktails that didn’t specifically call for it.
Got me into buying single malts more frequently. I started watching UA-cam video aftr that. Almost everything after it was an improvement. I would never buy it again. A happy moment for me was when my brother and two of his friends came over and drunk about 500mL of a 750mL bottle during soccer match. I have never been happier to share a drink.
It definitely has less spice than the Double Oak 12 but I do think the flavor profile is not overwhelming in any one area, the vanilla citrus and oak are well balanced. Although it does leave a slightly more bitter taste in the back of the mouth than the 12, although it is not an unpleasant bitterness
This is one that really doesn't sit well with my tastes, I'd rather go with a palatable blend for this price range. Much prefer a nip of Islay Mist for a cheap dram.

Glen leave it. 😅🥂🥂🙋🏻♂️
This was my first bottle of single malt. Nice nostalgic memory.
Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a great entrance malt
Horst should be considered a national treasure!
US votes for international treasure ☕
Give Horace a nomination for making the best sounds when drinking. Pls keep making these reviews!
Maybe not the popular opinion but I’ve had a bottle and quite enjoyed it.

I got a bottle of the “new” Glenlivet 12 last week. I prefer it a lot more than this one. I would say it’s on par with Glenfiddich 12.

Learned about this from the detective tv series; Foyle's War.
But back then the taste was much better😢
Which one would you pick? Glenlivet Founders vs Chivas Regal 12 Year?
It depends on my mood. If I want a single malt, I'll go for Glenlivet, if I'm in the mood for a nice blend, I'll go for Chivas.
Tried this whisky once… will never try it again.
It’s really good
They ruined the 18 year
Was looking for something akin to the 15 yo but the dry, oakey a/t was not to my liking.
For the price I get a bottle now and then. Easy sipping scotch I do prefer the 12 sherry cask and the 15 is very good again can’t beat the price.
I loved it in former times. In the beginning.
Somehow its taste has changed.
Not the same.😢
It became to popular?
Too bad.

Fruity sweetie. Yumm! 😋
Muito gostoso e fácil de beber
Johnnie Walker Black has more character and class
And it has a 12 year old age statement
