Glenlivet Scotch Malt Whisky is a single malt whisky. The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an outstanding example of age and elegance, elegant, rich, oaky and fruity, like a symphony of bitter and sweet sounds. The wine has a bright pale golden yellow color.
Floral and fruity aromas that resemble a summer breeze and the bouquet is full of tropical fruits, especially pineapple, ripe plums and ripe apricots, oak combined with vanilla and stone fruit to balance the overall fruity aroma, leaving a charcoal-roasted barley aroma. Typical Speyside whisky on the palate, with mild, supple aromas of summer fruits and spring flowers, floral notes glide gently over the palate, smooth, sweet fruity notes like white peaches and pears cooked in vanilla syrup, and a finish full of marzipan and fresh hazelnut before finishing with a hint of ginger. Goes well with a variety of cuisines.
Glenlivet's locally produced whisky has the highest reputation in Scotland for some reason. First of all, making a good whisky doesn't happen overnight, and the remoteness of Glenlivet makes it virtually free from police jurisdiction. Because of the terrain, the tax collector would be spotted from a few miles away, leaving plenty of time to hide the equipment and, more importantly, plenty of time for distillation.
Secondly, all the natural conditions necessary to make the best single malt whisky – barley, peat and plenty of high-quality, clear water – are all available here. Glenlivet's fertile valley floor soil produces high-quality barley, while the surrounding hillsides are covered with peat. The snowmelt water that flows down from the mountains around Glenlivet is pure and delicate, making it an excellent source of water for sake brewing. The trails and bridges used by whisky smugglers to travel from Glenlivet to the Lowlands are still preserved today.
