A small amount of smoke, butterscotch, rich, dates, toffee and caramel - delicious! Like Johnnie Walker Green but richer, more decadent, a little more bitterness, and a relatively short finish. A tiny amount of water enhances sweetness. This is a deal for an 18 year old scotch and you can share it with people that aren't scotch fanatics given the 40% ABV. Is it designed for peat heads or cask proof seekers? No. But it's really, really good.85.0 USD per Bottle

Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed October 27, 2018 (edited May 19, 2019)A lot going on here. Nose is tingly alcohol, with lemon, light peat and vanilla. Taste is similar, with citrus, fruit, and a rush of a slightly salty, waxy flavor that lingers through the finish that I associate with Clynelish. To me, this tastes like a mix between Oban 14 and Clynelish 14.54.0 USD per Bottle -
I'm really enjoying this because it includes so many Scotch styles in one well balanced dram. It is lightly peated, it has some sherry, golden raisins and tropical fruit on the nose, which is outstanding. The palate is sweet, woody, malty and spicy. The finish is mostly spice/pepper and is probably the weakest part, but when the rest of the dram is so great in an entry level bottle - wow! Really great.50.0 USD per Bottle

Glenfiddich 18 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 24, 2018 (edited November 13, 2020)Nose - dried fruit, sherry, apples and cinnamon. Palate is spice and fruit as well, but deeper. Finish is drying. Just drop of water brings out some vanilla and smooths out the palate. Very nice - but other 18s I've had (that are admittedly more expensive) have been more impressive.80.0 USD per Bottle -
A wonderful combination of orange marmalade, spice and honey. Interestingly, it bears very little resemblance to the Oban 14, which is more of a brine and honey profile. Instead, the Oban 18 closely tracks the NAS Little Bay, with its orange and spice flavors, with added refinement. I really enjoyed this and will look to add a bottle.22.0 USD per Pour
