  • Scotch Review: Glenlivet 25 Archive



    Scotch Whiskey is my "other" favorite beverage. That smoky sweetness, burning sensation on the way down, and those fumes that shoot up the nose make Scotch a one-of-a-kind alcoholic beverage.

    I was lucky enough to pick up during a going out of business sale for a dying liquor store here. I guess you can even find high quality beverages in a heavily Mormon town. Even though I have to hide this from plain view, and it was bloody expensive, it was well worth the price.


    Color: Rich dark golden-amber.

    Smell: Floral, sweet, fruity, sherry. Pretty alcoholic too.

    Attack: Sweet honey and vanilla.

    Finish: Pronounced sherry and spice note. Semi sweet/bitter on the way down.

    Final Notes: At just 43% alcohol, you're not going to find a better Scotch, if you're lucky enough to get a hold of this stuff. It's absolutely unbelievable, and trust me, I'm going to milk it for all it's worth. Very pricey at $350/bottle (I got it for MUCH LESS though, check around), but a Scotch your taste buds will absolutely adore. An "A+" Scotch for sure.

    What's your favorite high quality liquor to drink?
