Product Description

As people go, George Smith was no ordinary man. After he licensed his whisky in 1824, he battled against all odds and established his smooth fruity Glenlivet as the definitive taste of Speyside. What George started continues to inspire our makers to create whiskies that are enjoyed by all far and wide. Ripe apricot in hues, the 18 year old tempts the eye. An intensely complex balance of sweet spice and indulgent juicy orange will burst in your palate, leading to a crescendo of chocolate-dipped raisins on the finish. Colour: Golden, autumnal hues. Nose: Fragrant, elegant, complex with a sweet oakiness, rich sweet fruit aromas, toffee notes. Palate: Smooth and wonderfully balanced, burst of spices and bitter oranges drying out an oaky notes. Finish: Long and lingering. Hints of oak and spice.

IWSC judges · Gold · 2023
Enticingly fruit-forward as the palate evolves into a great depth of complexity through elegant interlacing of rich oak and sweet biscuit. Fresh with a clean palate and excellent balance.

Cinder toffee and savoury oat cake nose. Malt and toffee notes develop on the palate, with soft butterscotch and a touch of dark sugar to mid-palate. A hint of coffee appears to the finish.
Gold2022iwsc.net ↗
The fairground sweetness of candyfloss with a balance of light malt characters, appealing woodiness and the delicacy of orchard fruits. Creamy with gristy refinement, developing to floral notes and with a hint of honey on the finish.
Gold2021iwsc.net ↗
A charming and elegant offering rich in fresh orchard fruit flavours. The palate is well-developed with emerging leather notes, providing lovely complexity and depth.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2023
Fresh-cut apple and almond aromas lead into a bright, sprightly palate. Grapefruit peel, hops and toasted-almond flavors wind into gentle, lingering dried orange peel, golden raisin and ginger sizzle, with a light waft of peat smoke.

On the palate, a honeyed sweetness combines with the richness of dessert wine and hints of sugared almonds. … sweet and smooth, closing with a slightly peppery finish with hints of honey and apples.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
