"Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced. Rich fruit and toffee to the nose, balanced tastes of candied orange to the palate. Slight spice and raisin to the finish. The 18 Year Old has won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet."
