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.

Take a 12 year old, a 15 year old, a 18 year old, and a 21 year old, and stick them in the same classroom. The 12 year old is too nervous, too young, the 15 year is genius, but it is immature, the 18 year symbolises all you can hope for and all that has gone before. Finally the 21 year is outspoken, and one must suspect that it is pushing age over beauty. I love Glenlivet 18. It's a solid, good value 18 year whisky, that doesn't need to pretend, its just "Top of it's (price) Class". Congrats. Best Regards,
I had the Glenlivet Master's Reserve which was rubbish. This is on the other hand one of the best I ever had. I got it for about 70 bucks for a liter bottle at the Seattle duty free. What a find! I will try to buy as many bottles as I can next time! I also had the 15 year, and thoug that is also delicious to an extent, I think 18 is where Glenlivet his it's stride.
Harsh and bitter. Burns and leaves a hot aftertaste. It's my first and last bottle of Glenlivet.
Good
I stayed away from this because I had a fiddich 18 and wasn't impressed. I cheated myself this is sooooo good from the nose to the finish, it's like an angel peeing on your tongue.
