The Glenlivet 18 Batch Reserve

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 91 Points

This is exclusive to the World Duty Free shops in many UK airports, and is a variation on the regular Glenlivet 18. The nose has a good maltiness with honey and subtle touches of allspice, orange peel, and grapefruit. The taste starts off soft and buttery, but then develops a mild pepperiness along with allspice, lemon zest, and hints of honey and vanilla. The finish is long, smooth, and fruity.  (April, 2013)
