Glenlivet 18 Years Old Scotch 86 Proof
| Description: | Glenlivet 18 Years Single Malt Scotch 86 Proof Discontinued for 18 Years Old Batch Reserve 80 Proof. I've seen 2 different versions of Glenlivet 18 while out whisky hunting. One is with a blue & white box and label with no mention of âbatch reserveâ and another that's all blue and mentions âbatch reserveâ on the label. Most obvious difference is the batch reserve is bottled at 40% instead of 43%. Around me, the batch reserve has replaced the standard 18 year within the last year. 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. |
