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 am very selective with my scotch whiskey. i've tried Glenlivet 12, 15, and 21. 18 is what I prefer and I drink it without ice
I am usually a Islay/Islands Scotch drinker - but this one surprised me. There is a slight sherry flavor to a wee bit of smoke. I found this at a pub and I am glad I tried it. Definitely one you have to try on your bucket list.
I am very selective with my scotch whiskey. i've tried Glenlivet 12, 15, and 21. 18 is what I prefer and I drink it without ice. it's really what you prefer. I do not care for any of the Johnny Walker's or Glenfidich. I do enjoy Chivas 12 and Chivas 18. but overall I give Glenlivet 18 a perfect 10.
Compared to the 21 archive I like the 18 much more. More spices and better nose (sweet). Better price and much more accessible.
I am usually an Islay and Islands scotch drinker, but found this to be a very good dram. I wasn't expecting to like it since I have never liked any Glenlivits in the past. I was pleasantly surprised after giving this one a try.
