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 tried a glass of Glenlivet 18 year old Scotch from a new bottle that I had received as a Christmas gift. What a disappointment, instead of "smooth and wonderfully balanced" it was harsh and barely palatable, more like Cutty Sark than a quality Scotch.
I first tried this whisky in 2014. I am happy to admit my initial review sold this drink short. It is an exceptional dram. My son just brought me a bottle through duty free. It lasted 5 nights. Absolutely wonderfully dram well rounded, full with a wonderful lingering aftertaste. I have over 90 bottles of single malt in my shed. Glenlivet 18 yo is my No 1 at the moment
I drink this neat and I love it. if there's a better tasting scotch, I haven't tasted it.
a very smooth flavorful scotch with a mellow finish!
Before Glenfiddich 15 years was my favourite, but this bottle just pushed it up a knot.
