Our take on the The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a no-age-statement Speyside single malt built from a mix of European oak casks and first-fill American oak, which gives it a creamy, fruity character. It is the entry point to the Glenlivet range: softer and sweeter than the 12 Year Old, with orange, pear and toffee notes and a smooth finish. It is widely stocked and often discounted, so the price swings more than the whisky changes.

About the The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky with a smooth, creamy flavor. Representing The Glenlivet’s signature style, this classic Single Malt Scotch Whisky marries whisky from a variety of aged European casks with a selection of liquid from first-fill American oak casks. When George Smith began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements, and he selected whisky from casks of a range of ages. The selective use of these casks provides a smooth, creamy sweetness that mingles harmoniously with the delicate flavors and fruity tones already present in the whisky. Notes of zesty oranges and pears, with a hint of candy and toffee apples result in a long and smooth finish. Enjoy this liquor in a classic cocktail, in a highball with soda or ginger beer, or served neat or on the rocks. Pair The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve with light dishes of salmon. Join us in continuing the vision of our founder, George Smith, as we break traditions, set new standards, and move things forward; opening up the world of single malt to all through exceptional casks, finishes, and unique serves. Enjoy Responsibly.

Questions and answers

Is Founder's Reserve worth it over the Glenlivet 12 Year Old?
Founder's Reserve is cheaper and sweeter, with more creamy vanilla and less of the 12's apple and floral balance. If you want the classic Glenlivet profile, pay the small step up to the 12; if you want an easy highball malt, Founder's Reserve is fine.
Is it peated?
No. It is an unpeated Speyside malt, so there is no smoke. Expect orange, pear and toffee instead.
What is the ABV and bottle size?
It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 mL bottle.
How should I drink it?
Neat, on the rocks, or in a highball with soda or ginger beer. It also mixes well in a classic cocktail. It pairs with light dishes such as salmon.
When is it cheapest?
Prices move with store promotions rather than seasons. Compare across stores before buying, since the gap between the lowest and typical price is often several dollars.
