Glenlivet 18 Years Batch Reserve Single Malt Scotch 80
Proof
This excellent 18 year old single malt from Glenlivet is
a classic Speyside dram, it also won two golds at the International Wine and
Spirits Competition.
Vibrant orange-amber color and a warm, citrusy scent.
Expect lots of honey and caramel from the get-go, winding into an interestingly
dry and lingering finish entwining leather, cocoa, coconut and ginger. Good
value.
Over the course of 18 years our Master Distiller, Alan
Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types,
including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and
ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the
distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and
balanced. 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. 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.
