The Glenlivet 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 750 Millilitre, $206.99
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is the perfect expression of age and elegance. Sublime and complex, an enticing whisky of outstanding balance and flavor. High up in the remote area of Glenivet, George Smith was the first to produce a whisky of such exceptional quality that it went on to define the taste of Speyside. His definitive single malt inspired so many other distillers to adopt the appellation Glenlivet, that it became known as the longest Glen in Scotland. In 1884 a legal agreement was reached to distinguish Smith's original whisky by referring to it exclusively as The Glenlivet. Color: Golden, autumnal hues. Nose: Fragrant, elegant, complex with a sweet oakiness, rich sweet fruit aromas, toffee notes. Palate: Smooth and wonderfully balanced. Burst of spices and bitter oranges drying out on oaky notes. Finish: Long and lingering hints of oak and spice. 86 proof - 43% alcohol by volume.
