How does The Glenlivet 18 Years Old taste?

The Glenlivet 18 Years Old is known for its rich fruitiness and balanced complexity. On the palate, you will find ripe apples, candied orange peel, and delicate vanilla sweetness, with a finish of elegant spices.

What casks are used for this whisky?

This expression uses a double-cask maturation process, combining 1st and 2nd fill American oak (bringing vanilla and buttery notes) and European Sherry casks (injecting dried fruits and deep layers).

Is this whisky suitable for drinking with ice?

We recommend trying it neat first to appreciate the elegant aromas. For a more refreshing experience, adding a large ice ball can slightly soften the alcohol heat while locking in the core fruit sweetness.

Why is The Glenlivet called 'the single malt that started it all'?

In 1824, The Glenlivet became the first distillery in Speyside to be granted a legal distilling license by the British government, establishing its authentic status in Scotch history.

The Glenlivet Distillery is situated in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region with over 200 years of legendary history. In 1824, founder George Smith obtained the region's first legal distilling license, marking The Glenlivet as 'the single malt that started it all'. Despite facing imitation from illegal distilleries at the time, George Smith remained committed to quality, creating whiskies famous for their signature floral-fruity notes and silky texture.

This 18-year-old expression has been refined through a long maturation process. The crisp water from Josie's Well and the unique lantern-shaped stills contribute to the light floral character of the spirit. After spending 18 years in selected casks, it transforms into a deep golden, complex liquid. It has consistently won gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) and International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), making it a classic essential for any whisky cabinet. Whether enjoyed neat or paired with high-quality dark chocolate, The Glenlivet 18 Years Old offers a truly noble tasting experience.
