Glayva Whisky Liqueur

Appearance: Translucent copper gold. Aroma: Floral honey, light citrus and mild spices (a touch of anise). Flavour and Texture: Honey, citrus and cinnamon initially, developing towards a broader range of botanicals including clove and nutmeg. Sweet through to the aftertaste. The texture is thick, a little syrupy, but pleasingly sumptuous. Glayva and Drambuie are similar and in a blind tasting (if you had not had either for a while) you might be hard pressed to distinguish them, but you would certainly recognize that you were tasting two different liqueurs. Drambuie is a little "brighter" and "spiky". It also has a slightly hotter palate and a profile that is somehow more medicinal. Glayva is softer, more rounded and the botanical background seems to be more complex and have better balance. Both are good, and it's just a matter of personal taste which you would prefer (I prefer Glayva, myself). At the price it's a good value whisky liqueur. "Good" : 84/100 (3.75 stars)
