Had Glenlivet Founder with grilled kebabs. Gentle spice showed up early, while mellow sweetness carried through the finish. One of the more enjoyable options I've tried in this category.

This one smelled more expressive than I expected. Unfortunately, the finish disappeared quickly, and the finish turned bitter. One star from me.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but I gave it a fair try. There was enough malted sweetness to keep me interested, even though the finish turned bitter. I'd order it again in the right mood.

smoky - oaky
