Also, yea, #Glenlivet 12 is clearly telling me why it was recommended as a "standard", "goto budget #Scotch".

Is it bad? Not at all. Is it good? Eh. It's Scotch #whisky? As in, it tastes like the Platonic ideal of a 40% ABV Scotch: nothing more, nor less.

I'll finish the bottle…eventually? (Or give it to my whiskey-newbie sister, who might appreciate it more 🤔 Or bring it to Christmas and leave it at Dad's for the occasional visit.)

Checked the ABV on a just-opened bottle of #Glenlivet 12 #Scotch #whisky, to see whether I want to prepare the water dropper.

It's 40%, to which I whispered to myself, "well, no need to add water, this practically IS water!"

In case you're wondering what the cask-strength #WhiskyAdvent calendar is doing to me 😂

(Last two advent nights have been let-downs though! https://airtable.com/shrPMBz10mwkHxSK8/tblzYWabFrOs6okta )

@Daveosaurus LOL... well if it was a literal top shelf, my selection would be a little different, starting with #Laphroaig, #GlenLIvet, #Glenfiddich, and maybe #Glenmorangie, shall I go on??!! 😂
