- Description
- This 1990s bottling of Glenlivet's 18-year-old carries the distillery's signature elegance, refined through nearly two decades in oak. The extra maturity versus the 12-year-old brings deeper fruit complexity, richer texture, and a more layered finish without losing Speyside's characteristic floral and fruity character. Bottled at a natural 43%, it retains the full flavour the cask work has developed. A benchmark age for Glenlivet enthusiasts seeking balance between youth and maturity.
