Glenlivet 18YO
$179.99each
The story of Glenlivet 18YO
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is Speyside single malt from the distillery near Ballindalloch that George Smith began in 1824, today owned by Chivas Brothers, part of Pernod Ricard. Eighteen years in oak is six more than the 12 Year Old, and it shows in the depth of the fruit.
The casks are a mix of American and European oak, and the whisky is not billed as a sherried one, though it draws on more sherry casks than the younger Glenlivets. It pours clear golden amber. The nose is fruit cake and honey, with red apple, dried apricot and poached pear, then nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate there is fresh orange, vanilla fudge and buttery malt, and the finish is long and fresh, with sultanas and currants.
Pour it neat and give it a minute in the glass. A little water draws out the spice. It is a slow after-dinner whisky, and a few dried apricots on the side echo what is already in it.
