Product details

Over the course of 18 years, the Master Distiller of Glenlivet, 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 scotch whisky that is complex, yet elegant and balanced. The Glenlivet 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 and deserves pride of place in your cabinet.

Tasting notes

Ripe citrus, winter spice. Long, with raisins and spice. Balanced, bursts of sweet orange.

'THE' GLENLIVET

In August 1822, King George IV arrived in Scotland for a state visit and asked to try a drop of the infamous Glenlivet whisky. An illegal dram it was, but even that didn’t stop the King. With other competitors desperate to take the name ‘Glenlivet’ for themselves to capitalise of the notoriety, John Gordon Smith found the solution in a small but powerful three-letter word. He fought hard for the rights and in 1884 we became the one and only The Glenlivet. Almost 200 years since the distillery doors opened, The Glenlivet crafted something new in 2015 to celebrate: The Glenlivet Founders Reserve. Created by Master Distiller Alan Winchester, this fine liquid captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that George Smith first envisioned in 1824, and went on to be amass highest sales volume of any new Scotch product launched in the last five years.
