Process & Profile

The Glenlivet 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in a combination of American oak and ex-sherry casks, each selected to contribute depth and nuance to the final whisky. Over 18 years of aging in Speyside conditions allows the spirit to develop layered fruit tones, firm oak structure, and refined complexities that distinguish this expression within The Glenlivet’s core range. Cask influence is carefully balanced to achieve elegance, richness, and long-lasting maturity.
