Created
by master distiller Alan Winchester, The Glenlivet 18 single malt whisky is
aged for 18 years.
Its flavour profile is contributed by a very particular selection of ageing
barrels. The first and second fill, American oak casks, add hints of tropical
fruits, while former sherry casks contribute a spiciness that gives the
whisky an intriguing complexity.
The Glenlivet is among the oldest and most loved Scotch whisky distillers.
The brand ignited the revered Speyside scotches, which are known for their
elegance and rich taste. The Glenlivet Distillery was the first legal
distillery in the small Speyside region of northeastern Scotland, where many
fine scotches are produced today. This brand set the standard for single malt
whisky from the area.
The aroma offers a rich introduction of toffee, and a creaminess often
likened to cr me br l e. With a medium body, the palate offers notes of sweet
orange peel and vanilla, with undertones of burnt caramel. The finish is
pleasantly long with a nice oakiness and winter spices. The 18 Year Old has
won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of
the quality and taste of The Glenlivet whether enjoyed neat or as a whisky
cocktail. Any bottle deserves pride of place in your cabinet perhaps to be
held back for a fitting occasion? It is, after all, crafted to impress. |
