Balanced, rich and elegant, this is a whisky for special occasions. Matured in First and Second Fill American Oak and ex-Sherry casks.

From The GLENLIVEt 18 Years Of age -The Glenlivet official site

When I drank this 18 years, straight, I felt its tast was nothing special, average because I had already had 21 yrs and 16 yrs NADURRA, srtraight. But after trying having this on the rocks, my impression on this 18 yrs changed. The sweet and rich taste opens in your mouth. And soon you may realize that this 18 yrs price is reasonable compared with other major 18 yrs single malts (Ex The Macallan 18 yrs, Glenmorangie 18 yrs, Highland Park 18 Year Old). In fact those whisky are not only expensive but also having enough taste which you can enjoy drink straight).
