Glenlivet Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2000's Bottling) 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep golden amber with a warm honey-copper glow.

Nose

Sherry-influenced nose of dried fruits—figs and apricots—paired with orange zest, toasted almond and vanilla. Rich cocoa, caramel toffee and a whisper of leather emerge from polished oak, with delicate spice notes of cinnamon and clove. Elegant, velvety and mature, it hints at dusk in a softly aged library.

Palate

Silky and refined on the palate, this Glenlivet 18 offers honeyed apricot and dried fig, shaded by sherry-softened oak. Toasted almond, cocoa nib, and smooth leather unfold with gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—while vanilla lends creamy sweetness. A poised, long finish carries warm, polished oak and quiet, fruity persistence.

Finish

Long, refined finish with a velvety oak gloss and sherry-softened sweetness. Dried fig and plum give way to dark chocolate, toasted almond, and a whisper of spice, while leather and orange zest echo softly to linger in an elegant, enduring harmony.
