I am a fan of several expressions of Glenlivet Scotch Whisky, but the one I favour most is The Glenlivet 18. The Glenlivet Distillery is located in the Speyside whisky region of Scotland.

Glenlivet’s Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, has created the 18-year single malt by incorporating a variety of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak and ex-sherry oak. The American oak provides tropical fruit flavours and the ex-sherry casks generate the spicy notes. The result is a striking single malt scotch whisky that is complex and balanced. It has a golden colour with fruity and toffee aromas, toasty grain, vanilla and almond flavours, as well as a long smooth finish.

The Glenlivet 18-Year-Old has won more awards than any other expression. It is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet. I feel fortunate to have it available frequently at my local liquor store. It is a little pricey at $215.40 CDN but well worth it. I find it a great addition to my liquor cabinet and a tasty treat.
