Craft facts;
The rich palate of the 18 Year Old is the result of a combination of several different cask types.
The Glenlivet Master Distiller Alan Winchester has a wealth of quality casks to choose from when creating this complex expression, with American & European Oak, first & second fill, all playing their parts.
European Oak imparts spicy hints & brings additional complexity.
First-fill American Oak adds tropical fruitiness.
