The Glenlivet 18 is a Speyside single malt aged 18 years and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It sits above the 12 and 15 in Glenlivet's core range and below the 21, and it is the entry point to long-aged Glenlivet for most drinkers. Expect a smooth, honeyed, orchard-fruit profile with oak and a gentle spice, softer and less sherried than sherry-cask-heavy 18-year rivals. Owners call it an easy, crowd-pleasing Speyside; some find it pleasant but not especially complex for its age.
