Glenlivet 18 Year

It's honestly just damn good. No other words are needed.

Initially it wasn’t too great on the nose but after some time it became really pleasant. Raisins and prunes, apricots, peaches, cotton candy, plum jam, cinnamon, citrus. Very nice. Arrival on the palate is strong and intense. Very rich and deep. The oak comes through quite intensely. While the palate is really sweet it isn’t very sticky and goes down easily with a peppery burn. There also is almonds and floral notes. All in all a very enjoyable whisky. Had higher expectations after the 12y but it is a tad better. It is quite strong and intense on the alcoholic burn though. The nose is definitely its strong suit but the palate is also really satisfying. I’m missing a bid complexity and variety. It is straight forward but with just a few different layers.

Neat - sweet, pancakes
