THE STORY
The Glenlivet is the benchmark for light, floral Speyside malt. Eighteen years brings a layered, orchard-fruit richness with the oak sitting firmly in the background.
Nose
Orchard apple, ripe pear, honeycomb, a touch of marzipan.
Palate
Silky; baked apple, orange peel, toasted almond and gentle spice.
Finish
Long and mellow, dried fruit and warm oak.
Aging process
Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks for eighteen years in the Livet glen.
Terroir & region
River Livet water and the glens of Speyside create the soft, fruity new-make that defines the region.
