Raided Score: 90WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie The taste has cinnamon, vanilla, and baked apples, along with hints of pineapple juice and mango that add a fruity touch that lingers through the finish. Read Full Review Raided Score: 81Whiskyfun By Serge A fine, lightish dram that 'explains' well what the influence of French oak can be. Read Full Review Raided Score: 75Drinkhacker By Christopher Null Feels hotter than its 80 proof. Extremely woody — the flavor is more akin to chewing on twigs than any kind of toffee- or vanilla-style notes you typically get from wood. Just doesn’t gel for me. Read Full Review Raided Score: 80The Daily Pour By t8ke Its fine for what it is - simple, easy, daily sipper and priced just about right. Read Full Review Raided Score: 87The Whiskey Jug By Josh Peters When it comes to money and taste the Glenlivet 15 is the best value in their core line up because even though I do like the 18 more, I’m not sure I like it $30+ more. Read Full Review Raided Score: 87Whisky Advocate By John Hansell This whisky is more polished and refined than the 12 year old expression it replaces.

House Review
Nose:
Sweet apple, vanilla, some clove, buttercream
Taste:
Thin but pleasant and sweet. No heat. Apples, vanilla, some pear, a little clove and spice. Cream.
Finish:
Short but mild. No heat or astringency. Kind of like a weak apple juice here with some faint cream.
Overall:
Its fine for what it is - simple, easy, daily sipper and priced just about right. Rank 5.
