The Glenlivet is one of Speyside’s best-loved producers, and has been capturing the region’s iconic style in acclaimed expressions since its inception in 1824. This release, the 18 Year Old Batch Reserve, uses sherry and bourbon casks in a whisky that shows all the hallmarks of the brand’s modern identity.

Batch Reserve
£89.95
For this expression, The Glenlivet’s master distiller Alan Winchester worked with both first- and second-fill American oak casks as well as the characteristic sherry casks, creating a wonderful combination of flavourful spice, nutmeg and cloves, orange, stewed apple, honey and malt notes. The result is a whisky whose complexity and boldness is complemented perfectly by its fine balance, and with an elegance imbued on it by a long and considered maturation.

The Glenlivet’s flagship 21 Year Old is the ideal entry point to the brand’s Sample Room Collection, developed for The Glenlivet’s longer-aged bottlings and allowing for experimentation with innovative cask maturation. First-fill oloroso Sherry and Colheita Port casks, in addition to time spent in French oak, give this expression beautiful depth and spicy notes, while keeping its distinctive character and vivacious fresh fruit flavours.
