Glenlivet 18 Year Old

General description

friendly, fruity taste

General description

Good 18yo

General description

43 57 Это не шеррибомба, не дешевый а-ля самогон, не айла. Для меня это коньячное направление виски с древесными дубовыми нотками. Сухо, сдержанно и несколько резковато. В запахе немного спелой груши (все таки малость хереса присутствует).
Виски, который стремится угодить всем и немного теряет индивидуальность. Этакий добротный но скучноватый бизнес класс.

General description

Impressive. Light, sweet, vanilla and apple. Nothing out of this world, but for the price it’s not bad. If you wanted to entertain non whisky drinkers this would be a great dram to pour as it’s not offensive at all.

The nose reminded me a lot of Craigellachie 13yo, but not worth the price in my opinion (Craigellachie is already overpriced and that’s better!)

General description

perfect

General description

Good

General description

nose: rich tones of port soaked dried sultanas followed by subtle notes of toasted sugar hazel nuts

palate: dates, leather and anacide

finish: lingering long lasting fruity notes returning back to those dried fruit flavours of sultanas and dried dates

General description

Apple crumble cake, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, oak spice. Smooth, oily, tasty.

My 9th whisky. My third Glenlivet in a row (gift package Founder's reserve, 15 year French oak and this one). The first taste wasn't my cup of tea. After the second zip I started to like it, but not as much as the previous mentioned 15 year French Oak. Too much like raisins and a bit to sour for me in the beginning, but I got used to it and it is definitely not a bad one. My wishlist for a whisky filled cupboard is growing.

General description

A very approachable whisky. A lovely nose, sweet and rich. Sherry, vanilla with fruit, oak and spice. There is some bitter astringency on the palate. A good whisky for beginners, but I prefer Aberlour a'bunadh for a Speyside single malt.

General description

Fruity, a little sweet, caramel.. A nice fresh whisky..

General description

sherry and vanilla
less peat smoke

General description

Sweet floral, fruity and cinnamon. Smooth, slight complex and spicy.

General description

great, elegant, complex malt - simply a very nice whisky

Nose

rich and complex, instantly some oak, some caramel, adding to it an enticing sweetness: vanilla, ripe pears, blackberries; behind that there's dark sherry, some raisins; sweetness getting stronger; later on a hint of smoke, roasted aromas

Palate

instantly sweet and spicy; rich red fruits, sweetness, some cocoa, some nutmeg, again getting sweeter, caramel

Finish

red apple, oak spice; at the same time very caramel-ish sweet

General description

General description

Great. Much better and in my opinion very different profile than the 12. Almost seems hard to believe the 12 and 18 are from the same distillery.

General description

OK, but not great, good 18-years old value for the money though

Nose

sweet, smells cheap

alcoholic at first, then bitter and sweet at the same time, very balanced, nice

General description

traumhafte Nase, feiner Glenlivet im Mund. ein Genuss

General description

Livet 18 is one of the most subtle, silky, soft, and balanced whiskies around, so much so that some may find it boring. Nothing really sticks out, gentle vanilla on nose leads into supple, soft honey, citric palate with less than expected cask oakiness of 18 years. Bit of sherry is in there but nowhere near some of the Macallans or Abelour Abunadh.

General description

a smooth sherry bomb that is sweet on the nose and palate. A hint of dark chocolate and honey.

Nose

Sherry, orange, honey sweetness

Palate

Creamy, sweet, nice mouth feel. doesn't feel young. dark chocolate

General description

Sweet, smooth, fruity, floral. Its good for beginners, or maybe if you just want to relax and not have some overwhelming intensity or complexity.

A very tasty dram. Don't let the Scotch snobs steer you away from a very enjoyable 18 year single malt.

Red Ripe Apple, Cinnamon, toffee, vanilla Sherry

Sweet, Oak, Spice, Sherry.

Finish

Nutty, Oily, Spicy, Oak

After taste is very subtle, but in my opinion a little too short compared to the spicy taste.

General description

candy-like

General description

smooth and fruity, long and pleasent finish with a bit of citrus

General description

This is my perfect speyside malt, it's got a lovely rich smell of caramel, honey and toffee. In the mouth it goes down a treat it's so smooth has a great sweet taste full of that great speyside character. Ends with a short but sweet finish. This has a great golden colour to boot!

General description

ripe oranges, marzipan, nut wood, chocolate: great nose. taste: grainy, sweet and sour citric notes, salted toffee and chocolate. the finish isn't too long, with syrup and sweet and sour notes. not a very complex or intriguing whisky, but very well balanced and enjoyable.

General description

well balance, sweet and spicy, smooth

General description

Nice, easy and well balanced dram. Also quite affordable compared to most 18 YOs.

General description

Real sweet, full taste.

General description

Good one

General description

much smoother than expected. spiciness adds a nice kick

General description

sweet mild

General description

Excellent dram, complex and balanced combination of flavors help to absorb the sting of this overpriced (at least for my taste and budget) whisky.

General description

Fruity, soft, and slightly woody nose / oily texture / oilyness stays in the mouth / fruity taste with later on a pleasant dough/flowery taste / also some wood taste / also sweetness / a little peppery "bite" in the fairly long aftertaste. Fine single malt under €70,00.

General description

Lovely balanced. Spicy and fruity.
