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've never tasted better, I don't have hundreds to spend on a bottle, so I probably never will. I'll definitely have another bottle at some point.
The nose and taste are stupendous, with all the complexity and intensity one would expect from a top shelf scotch. The finish lingers for hours. The alcohol quality is far beyond the competition, providing a wonderfully pleasant and peppy buzz similar to drinking a few glasses of Dom Pérignon. I’ve never had even a hint of a hangover from any of the Glenlivet line. The 18 packs that extra 86 proof punch while still being just as smooth as the 15. The Glenlivet 18 is worth every cent of its $100+ price, though the 12 and 15 are better values overall. The 18 is a special occasion dram that will instantly punctuate a great achievement with an exclamation point! Cheers!
It is a very good whisky. The nose is especially fantastic. Overall, though, I would say that the Glenlivet 15 is smoother and a nicer experience overall for about half the money.
This is a great scotch one of the best I have ever tasted a true gem
One of the best 18yo speyside single malt whisky.
