The Glenlivet 18-year-old Scotch whisky is a premium choice in the Glenlivet lineup. Tasters fall in love with its enticing honey color and smooth, pleasant finish that stands out among other Scotch whisky choices. A dynamic spirit preferred for its depths of aroma and taste, The Glenlivet 18-year-old Scotch marks the middle of the Glenlivet options ranging from 15- to 21-year-distillations. The 18-year-old whisky boasts a unique flavor palate with sweet elements like oranges and nougat along with the spiciness of fennel and spearmint. This 40% ABV single-malt Scotch whisky hails from Speyside and enjoys extra time in the refining process. The result is a Scotch with amazing complexity that has become a favorite among consumers and critics alike. It is no wonder that the label has won multiple international awards. Appreciate The Glenlivet on its own in a whisky glass to bring out its subtle nuances, which range from fruity to oaky.

Made with water from the same crystal-clear mountain streams, in the same cold, pure air, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whisky that first ran from the original copper pot stills. These unique, lantern-shaped copper stills, designed by the man himself, are not the only important tools in our distilling legacy. The traditional oak casks in which we mature the whisky give each expression its own distinct characteristics. When George Smith began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements and he selected whisky from casks of a range of ages. We have replicated this freedom with The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve, selecting whisky from a variety of traditional aged oak casks. Then, to lend a modern twist to the flavour of the expression, Master Distiller Alan Winchester marries together a selection of the aged oak casks and American first-fill oak casks. American first-fill oak casks are those that have never before been used to mature whisky. Selective use of these casks provides a smooth, creamy sweetness that mingles harmoniously with the delicate flavours and complex fruity tones already present in the whisky.

"A port cask finish gives this Scotch a copper penny hue. The aroma suggests baked apple, while the palate has a chewy, concentrated vanilla-oak profile, leading to walnut, leather and espresso. The rounded finish sings with sherry and spice. Adding water coaxes out baked apple sweetness and dials back the oak." 94pts Wine Enthusiast.

Distiller Notes
Vibrant amber-gold. The nose is fresh and beautifully light, sherried fruit combined with a tempting spicy sweetness and a int of sappy oak. The palate is full-bodied with a delightfully sherried fruit, oak and delicious sweet sensations. The finish is long and flavorsome, with a lingering spiciness.

This 18 year old from Glenfiddich is rich and full-bodied and is matured in a mix of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. Color: Dark gold. Nose: A remarkably rich aroma with ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and robust oak. Taste: Richly delivers luxurious dried fruit, candy peel and dates. Overlaid with elegant oak notes. Finish: Warming, rewarding and distinguished. 40%abv - Rich Fruit and Spice -

"Soothing and seamless on the nose and palate with chewy toffee, molasses, nougat, almond butter, vanilla fudge, cinnamon spice, and nutmeg, along with gentle tobacco notes emerging later on the palate. A pleasing dry finish offsets the sweeter notes. A delicious whisky from beginning to end." Whisky Advocate.

The Glenfiddich 12 is a benchmark Scotch and familiar favorite helping to establish the Single Malt category years ago.

Color: Golden Nose: Distinctively fresh and fruity with a hint of pear. Beautifully crafted and delicately balanced. Taste: Characteristic sweet, fruity notes. Develops into butterscotch, cream, malt and subtle oak flavors. Finish: A long smooth and mellow finish. (Producer’s Note) - Dried Fruit and Nut -

"A new addition to the permanent Balvenie range. Lovely bright gold color. Layers of sweetness (the characteristic Balvenie honey, along with vanilla fudge, nougat, and rich toffee) peppered with dried spice and a hint of tropical fruit (papaya, guava, tangerine). Nice viscosity with good grip on the finish. I really like the balance and complexity of this whisky. A very solid effort and the price is right." Whisky Advocate - Malt and Honey -

Speyside whiskies are known to be fruity and floral, but as the bad boy of Speyside, Craigellachie defies with its oil fired, rich character. Craigellachie 13 is matured in a mixture of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla, toffee and fudge notes to the fore, and the sherry casks provide richness and complexity.

The classic, benchmark 12 yr. old from Macallan. Nose: Vanilla with hints of ginger, dried fruits, sherry sweetness and wood smoke Palate: Deliciously smooth, with rich dried fruits and sherry, balanced with wood smoke and spice Finish: Sweet toffee, dried fruits, lingering wood smoke and spice. (Producer's Notes) - Rich Fruit and Spice -

For the maturation of this whisky, Glenfiddich adopted the "Solera" procedure from Spanish sherry production. Whiskies matured in different casks (Oloroso sherry, bourbon, virgin oak) are married in a unique Solera vat made from oregon pine. Nose: intriguingly complex aroma. Sweet heather honey and vanilla fudge combined with rich dark fruits. Taste: Silky smooth, revealing layers of sherry oak, cinnamon and ginger. Finish: rich with lingering sweetness. - Malt and Honey -

The Smoky Twelve is the perfect marriage of fruit, malt, oak and rich layers of smoke. Three cask matured in an unconventional mix of bourbon, sherry and Marsala this creamy and smooth single malt is multilayered with flavors of ripened fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and warming oak spice.

"A nicely honeyed malty foundation is balanced by fruit on the front of the palate, with a pleasingly dry, spicy finish. It would benefit by being bottled at 43%, like the older two expressions. It is simple, straight-forward, and unpretentious, as one would expect in a 10 year old whisky." Whisky Advocate, 40% abv - Malt and Honey -

A Glenrothes 12 Year Old in classic style: fruity and sweet. Aged solely in sherry-seasoned casks, this Speyside whisky has notes of vanilla, melon, banana and cinnamon.

One of the best known sherry bombs, the Aberlour A?????bunadh. From Gaelic, a?????bunadh means "(of) the origin", or "the original", and is meant to honor an earlier style of whisky making at the Speyside distillery Aberlour. Bottled at cask strength, slowly matured in rare Oloroso sherry butts, this malt is full of rich, smooth, complex flavors. 60.7%abv - Rich Fruit and Spice - "Brave the cask-strength heat and be rewarded by a malt that's welcoming and complex. Sherry and cherry dominate at first, but a cereal-granola-honey quality and a licorice note flirt from behind the curtain. The essential candy element returns on the finish." Wine Spectator

"One of the finest Balvenie 15 year olds I've tasted. The flavors are clean, well defined, confident, and beautifully balanced. Full malty foundation (with some ripe barley thrown in). Soft, creamy vanilla, honeycomb, bright fruit (orange, nectarine, lemon peel, hints of pineapple), with emerging dried vanilla, coconut, oak resin, and subtle anise. Polished oak finish. It doesn't have the depth that the classic older Balvenies have shown in the past, but what it does have, it has in spades. Beautiful!" 91 - Whisky Advocate, 47.8% abv - Malt and Honey -

The Original Ten encapsulates the signature smooth and multi-layered character of Benriach. Three cask matured for at least ten years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak, to create layers of luscious orchard fruit, sumptuous honeyed malt and toasted oak, all interwoven with a subtle trace of smoke. The perfect introduction to our signature style and richly layered Speyside Single Malt.

"This oft-overlooked Speysider has been frustratingly variable in the past, but now seems to have hit greater consistency. Worm tubs and weird stills combine to give a complex malt, but one that needs help from oak to blossom fully. There are hedgerow aromas: black currant leaf, hawthorn berries, and lots of honey. A chestnut note continues on the tongue where, on the finish, a hint of smoke lurks." Whisky Advocate, 43% abv

Nose: Fresh sherry embraces the maltier, more honeyed aspects of Dalwhinnie. Peaty and surprisingly, still heathery. Spicy yet grapy. Palate: A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build-up of very clear, well defined Scotch. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle. Finish: Tons of oak. Very, very dry with vanilla dominating. The perfect dram for those in search of a very dry malt finish. (Producer's Note) - Malt and Honey -
