[@garyhilton656]

I bought this as my first "big buy" and remember it was amazing in its complexity..such an amazing dram for one taking that next step in to whisky... A definite buy. Thanks Horst

[@exxocognac]

I've enjoyed all of your posts on your vlog. You've provided a thorough education about all aspects of the distillation process and the many factors that influence the distillation. Your experiment with chill filtration, for example, was illuminating. The humor, common sense and love for scotch that you evidence really distinguishes all your posts. Really, you have a lot to say. Thank you for taking the time to say it in English.

[@dallasbagley]

"It's heavier... Or move heavy... I'm no native speaker." Lol. Love this Scotch, had some tonight. Incredible.

[@nellietolb420]

One of my favorites. Thanks Horst.

[@FuzzBass66]

Enjoying a dram of this right now, fantastic stuff. Excellent review as always.

[@darkoanton5]

Wow! Sounds fantastic.

[@TheOriginalRaster]

Sounds great. I look forward to purchasing this bottle. Thanks for this review.

[@100bsl]

One of the best in this price range. Excellent, Intense aromas and superb taste.

[@kevinw9073]

Love how he swishes! Cheers!

[@vikinghunter2177]

I love that one Horst, definitely a go to for me as well!

[@rockdocpalmcoast4189]

I received a bottle of this as a present for Christmas. I can't wait to try it.

[@ricardofeijo5719]

Hi Horst ! I'm from Brazil and enjoy single malt.. I would like to thank you for your videos !

[@terjehuse8562]

One of my favourites as well!

[@johnw1597]

Great video Horst! added this one to my ever growing list of 'To buy'! Thank you :)

[@gavinyeatts9133]

I love your reviews! I definitely have to try this one

[@Iceman-xe7jo]

This and Glenfiddich 18 is some of my favorites.

[@xrhymez6166]

Wow! Some mouth-watering review indeed!

[@darkoanton5]

It's well balanced with a nice long, warm and lingering finish. This is a terrific whisky.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Nice review, thank you.

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

Amazing value and truly fantastic drink. After spending over 200 Eur on tasting a few dozens of Whiskeys , I bought a bottle of this and Auschentouchan 3 wood.

[@ninthsun]

nice review! I've bought this one few days ago, and I've learned a lot from your video!!

[@cato451]

Great whisky indeed.

[@dimitarrazhev4882]

I look forward to your top 5

[@fvrs3411]

Sipping a glass of Glenlivet 18 as we speak and damn it’s good!

[@Vintervilan]

Can't wait to hear your top 5 :)

[@hoopshooper9102]

Yes this is a lovely drop

[@mikerowsdower9896]

This one sounds lovely. It would be a SLIGHT upgrade in price to what I've been buying, but after adding a Macallan to my collection, this is the one I will seek.

[@andjavgarven]

One of my favorite single malt. Love it!! 🥃🥃

[@torpdokenable]

You can find it in Belgium around € 50. And boy, I am happy about it. The love for this bottle is indescribable.

[@tiotrump7198]

Sure sure

[@hughmungus1235]

I'll be having this for the first time this Christmas.

[@ChristopherQuarto]

Just picked this one up! Delicious stuff! Beautiful bottle, same as the 21 and the 25. Quality hooch 👍

[@foxhound5702]

Ive had a bottle in my cabinet for ages now that i haven't opened. just waiting for that right occasion

[@donmon5361]

Please do a video comparing old glenlivet 18 43% with new edition 40% in english. I am wondering how much worse is new release.

[@ADSCP]

Please the review the new version of Glenlivet 18 wich has a lower ABV.

[@garrafeiradodinis6765]

Probably the best 18y price/quality.. for 68€ in portugal.

[@pyroboynh6187]

Would you advice glenlivet to a beginning whiskey drinker? Which one do you prefer the 15 or 18 year old? Or other suggestions of whiskeys to try.

[@vladimirnaydenov1239]

Cheers !!!

[@robertwave612]

As a native speaker, "heavier" is correct and better than "more heavy" :) Thanks for the review. I have the 12 and I think it's awesome, so so much better than the founder's reserve (which isn't even in the same league). Glad to hear the 18 is even better - I'll have to save up and try that one next. Thanks for making these videos for us, it's appreciated a lot

[@abbassihm]

What is your five favorite whiskey's

[@ADSCP]

Bought one of this today. Was uncertain between this one, a Macalan 12 and Lagavulin 16.

[@samyza2005]

Whats better the glenlivet 21 or glenlivet 18

[@reemz6939]

What country produces the best whiskey?

[@samuelcast1]

What are your 5 favorite whiskies??????

[@amirb7437]

I’m a massive Glenlivet fan. Even if I wasn’t such a great fan, watching your appetizing review would make me run out and get some. Unfortunately here in Canada the price keeps raising. Today it is almost $200 Canadian dollars 😢. My most favourite however is the 15 year old!

[@cubeeism]

Be aware the new 18 which bottled at 40% ABV is really worse.

[@bfhwhataboutthecavesdude6162]

indeed 40% only and in Mtl. Canada selling almost $200 after taxes. got the last bottle in montreal today ... it was unavailable for almost a year...still unavailable , just got lucky on an old bottle ... guess pandemic and shortage of workers has affected Glenlivet a lot.

[@ericgilbert8114]

Every scotch drinker has a soft spot for one of the big four.

[@francisd2386]

Big four ? Glenfiddich, Glenlivet and.. ?

[@ericgilbert8114]

Dalmore and Macallan

[@MrVara411]

Dalmore... hmm. Gotta be honest I've been let down by their 12 and 15 year olds. Maybe I should try the King Alexander? ... But you're right... my soft spot happens to be THREE out of those four! :)

[@PhatTrumpet2]

I would give up after two strikes.

[@revoconner]

vara fouroneone yeah the 15 sucks

[@HybridEnergy]

Why is the price difference so high on this one between the US? with the conversation rate of EU to US almost similar most whiskies cost the same but this one is 100 US and 60 EU? Seems to be the case. I picked up a explorer's edition spice route 4 days ago flying internationally and I saw this 18 yr old Livet and thought the price was odd.

[@menon_ji4984]

I had a Glenlivet 15 with me. I found it to be more malty in character and less sweeter

[@pratapbhagat1063]

Price kya hai

[@Dark_Pegasus]

Found recently a Glenlivet 18 batch reserve. Can anyone tell me if it is a new look or a different whisky of the one reviewed?

[@ssd1874]

Dark_Pegasus it’s a new bottling lower abv at 40% I have both and prefer older 43% version and have ordered 2 before it disappears good luck

You forgot bowmore. black bowmore to be exact but 18 is not bad too for the price.

[@chrisbillington2159]

I prefer the Glenlivet 15 French Oak cask to the 18. What do others think?

[@jakeszetela6537]

Chris Billington i agree. The 15 in French oak is my “always have a bottle” scotch.

[@TheoooTay]

@Whiskey.com Great review Mr.Luening Horst Luening:) I do enjoy your reviews very much and look forward to your opinion. On a side note, I am curious as to the microphone which you use. Would it be possible for you to share how does it project even the gargling of your whiskey please? Thank you:)

[@catshaveearsonhead]

Is it better then the glenfiddich 18?

[@dangermiami1990]

Wayyy better.

Danger Escobar Not!

[@samuelmorse784]

Both are great I would not pick one over the other.

[@JetTeamProduction]

Just bought it for 36 euros !! It's amazing !

[@scubaone907]

Amazing how much The Glenlivet has been from the 12 to the 15 and now the 18 for my tasting I will never drink the 12 and 15 again. Or I should say I will never buy it again if a friend offers me a snort I will gladly take part.

[@Shea_Connerty]

Don’t try the 21 lol

[@mastermattk]

Could you compare this with Oban 14? I like both cause I think it's similar. Does Oban seems to have more body?

[@Shuya92]

Would say that the oban 14 is closer to talisker storm rather than this. Oban 14 has that ocean like taste profile (i.e. salt, smoke, peat) whereas i feel this has a lot more complexity than that. There is more sweetness and the smoke/peat is much lighter and in the background, more secondary to the sweetness and oak.

[@S3v3n13tt3r5]

I have this at my local for $50 usd and the 12 year for $25, is this whisky worth spending twice as much, as in the complexity?

[@andrewlordon8734]

Yes it's worth it.

[@jcraigwilliams70]

It sells here at $120. :(

[@dallasbagley]

Hell yes it is. For $50, I'd buy 2 of them! They're $100 over here.

It was good. But i liked the 14 year cognac reserve better. But thats me

About 150 CDN in BC,Canada. 60 Euros about 90 CDN. Amazing what taxes and transport will do!!

$92 in New Brunswick.

[@hyeon-gyunkim5277]

60euro = reasonable, damn good BUT 200dollar in S.Korea yeh! Do not ignore the K-Price.

$90 in Canada. Still worth it even though I’m crying thinking about spending that much.

$100 in Dayton ohio
