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.

A delicate and delicious mixture was enjoying . It is welcome at a hard day to enjoy this whiskey. fresh and a little stronger aftertaste notes. Ideal for those who enjoy drinks soul.
I love the subtle apple notes and rich flavor, allow it to breath at least 5 minutes before enjoying.
From nose to finish, this is a good dram. It has delicate notes of Apple, Oak, and something sweet (sherry maybe?), and rarely have I had the pleasure of such a smooth whisky. But it lacks the complexity and depth to make the jump from being good to being great. While I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this, I feel that the Highland Park 18yo is a better choice in the same age and price range (Though it can be almost overpoweringly sweet at times, so I could see this as a drier alternative some days). I think that this is good enough that I'll probably be keeping a bottle of this in my cabinet from now on.
It's bad if you take a sip right away, you need to let it sit for at least 10 minutes if not even longer to let the flavours really come out. Don't add water it's too delicate.
Taste cheap unpleasant alkogol. Glenlivet 12 the best.
