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.
Very disappointing indeed - come one Glenlivet you can do better that this - 40% feels thin and looks like it has added colouring too.
I used to love Glenlivet 18 when it was 43%. This new iteration does not even come close.
In South Africa, we get it at 43%. What a perfect whisky. One note that stands out for me is liquorice (liquorice all sorts), the ones you get with the coloured little balls on. I can drink this all day long
Not a scotch drinker And its the hardest drink for me to like But this is very nice smooth like velvet no burn whatsoever. Tastes like pears to me, pricey but il get it again sometime.
One of my favourite Malts, the xtra 3% ABV over the 40% 12 YO makes a significant difference, as well as the age. Noting earlier review, do make sure you get the 43% The 100 proof “Red Lion” 15 YO even better, but no longer available
