Glenlivet 12 Year Old 100cl

My co-worker Jan brought me this 1 litre bottle in the tax free shop when returning from Spain.

I was looking forward to this, after having tried the (discontinued) 12 Year Old French Oak Finish version (replaced by the 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve).

The nose is extremely fruity, crisp with green apples and some pear. Peat and earth are absolutely absent.

The light and medium-bodied dram delivers the exact same tones on the palate.

The finish, which is rather short, is dry and clean. No heat whatsoever.

This could very well become a daily dram, but nothing more than that. The statement on the bottle 'The Single Malt that started it all...' seems a bit far fetched or at the least overstated.
