How is the taste of The Glenlivet 18 Years Old?

The Glenlivet 18 Years Old is known for its rich fruitiness and balanced layers. On the palate, you will experience ripe apples, candied orange peel, and delicate vanilla sweetness, followed by an elegant spicy finish.

Which casks are used for this whisky?

This expression uses a double cask maturation process, combining first and second-fill American oak (for vanilla and creaminess) and European Sherry casks (for dried fruit and depth).

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