It’s amazing what 6 years does to Glenlivet. Six years turns an everyday scotch of somewhat normal status into a rich, satisfying utility scotch that serves well pre and post dinner. Wonderful holiday spices and dark fruit come alive with a small amount of ice and nothing else. This scotch, when served neat, will leave a warm feeling in your chest that is very soothing on cold nights.
A yeasty nose and rich spices hint that this is a special occasion dram. Not necessarily an every day drink, but one for cherished memories and milestones.
I bought a bottle when I closed on my first house, and will never forget taking a long sip while sitting in the middle of the floor, no furniture or any household items. I knew that I would always remember christening the next chapter of my life with a glass of Glenlivet 18 year.
