This excellent 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Glenlivet is a classic Speyside dram, matured in a combination of first and second fill American oak and sherry casks. It also won two golds at the International Wine and Spirits Competition.
Quite big and well-rounded. There are notes of chewy sultanas and Sherried peels, barley sugars and toasty cereals with petals and apple blossom. A touch of fudge and gentle wisps of smoke.
Full and rich with notes of chewy, tannic oak. Manuka honey and walnut with Cox’s apples and orange peels. Cut herbs - fennel and spearmint.
Long and dry with a spicy oak note.

i just loved it
I bought this, a few, short, weeks ago. Read all the comments. Watched all the reviews on YouTube. Poured my glass, waited a good 20 minutes, then tasted it. All I got was very strong alcohol. Not pleasant at all. Yes, adding water helped, but this was soooooo disappointing! It will be a very long time before I return to Glenlivet 18 again.
Not bad, but I was expecting much more from it. I just drink a dram of aultmore12 and pour one from GL18 and realized it's not better. I was expecting more.
Honey, spice, sherry, and a long pleasant oaky finish. A dram is my reward at the end of a busy week. I usually suggest Glenlivet 18 to friends who haven’t yet fallen in love with Scotch. It’s a very likable single malt, complex and aromatic.
This is a go to scotch for any scotch veteran who comes home after a hard day at work and wants to enjoy a relaxing and dram. The nose is delish, flower petals, honey, cherries, sweet sherry. A sip and it begins to explode to a spicy, sweet leather and dried fruit taste and finishes long and delectable. I love my 18yo Highland Park, Talasker, Glendronach Revival, Lagavillin 16, ....so many , but as a value for a hundred if you can swing it, Glenlivet 18 is hard to beat as a treat
