The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl with Gift Box

Product Information

The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein. The tasting touched on the founder, George Smith, and on how there were way more illegal distillers before 1823, after which a law made it cheaper to apply for a distilling license. It's what you offer to someone who wants to try whisky for the first time, or what you drink if you want a refreshing dram on a hot summer day.

The water we use comes from Josie’s Well, a natural spring that bubbles out of The Glenlivet’s dark earth. The distillery DNA and American oak flavors are more noticeable from start to end, while he ex-sherry notes like the dates, cherries and milk chocolate are sparingly present on the nose and finish. It has a lovely little nose of fruit, apples and pears, cinnamon, toffee, honey, vanilla, oak, little floral and a very slight cocoa aroma that appears and disappears. The Service and your account are for your personal use only and may not be shared with any third parties. The palate is big and bold with lots of oak, walnuts, Manuka honey, as well as orchard apples and orange peel.

Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”). More complex than I expected, but not overly so - and it is significantly richer than you would expect from the nose. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. Not having any 12 I once used this to introduce a niece to the world of single malts because of its anaemic ABV.

I should add that it is great value for an 18yr old, and is a perfect introduction to more sophisticated older drams. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. For me, it's by far the most outstanding Glenlivet offering in the sub 20 year old "regular" line up (I don't include the Nadurra in this equation - if I were to do that, it would trump the 18).Last night I decided after a very long day of watching movies, playing video games, prepping for my wife's and I upcoming holiday to Scotland and talking whisky to crack open a sample bottle of whisky that had been sent to me. We may terminate or temporarily suspend your account to protect you, ourselves or our partners from (suspected) identity theft or other (suspected) fraudulent (e. Victor is correct that I have been keeping my own little personal set of reviews dating back to 2009 (with only two or three strange attempts before that).

This for me was the standout of the Glenlivet lineup and something that made me do a little sigh of relief as the rest of the Glenlivet's I've tried really haven't impressed me too much. Neither Whiskybase nor any of its group companies (including any subsidiary, affiliate or holding company), directors, officers and employees shall in any way be liable or responsible (whether directly, indirectly, consequential) for any costs, claims, damages, liabilities and other expenses, including any consequential loss, suffered by you resulting from your use of the Service.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. I can see that the Total Wine pricing, which I think is justified, may have led me to becoming more generous with the other pricing of the 12.

Unlike at other distilleries, we don’t use peat during the drying process, so the barley’s natural flavours and aromas are retained. The aroma is not immediately very interesting but if you get your nose down and concentrate a plethora of distinct hints crystallise out. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.There is no harshness to it, there’s some kind of youth about it, which goes against the age statement on the bottle, not sure how else to describe that really! Maybe it's a consequence of spending my teenage years (and my early twenties) in the "alternative music" scene. This “angels’ share” means thousands of gallons are lost annually, but it’s worth it to appease the whisky gods and continue the legacy of The Glenlivet. The Glenlivet's core whiskies include a variety of options that are sure to please any scotch lover.
