    I've ventured out to many different scotch whiskies and The Glenlivet is always a must to return to. It's an absolute staple in my collection and I will never NOT have a bottle of The Glenlivet on in my collection!

    18 year is fabulous. I have both the 18 and 21. Honestly for the money and flavor I prefer the 18. Another wonderful Scotch the the 18 yr Glenfiddich.

      Keep in mind that they were drinking from an older vintage bottle which was bottled at 43% alcohol. The newer ones are only 40% alcohol therefore they will not taste the same.

      Yes please do. I just picked up a bottle of the 40% 18 year. It wasn't until I got home that I remembered it used to be 43%, as you mentioned in the video. Would be curious to hear some commentary on the differences and why Glenlivet made that change. Great video! Will be watching more of your content.

    I bought a bottle, I'm aware it no longer ages as it's no longer in its cask or however it's spelt, I buy it in 2024 would it be any more valuable or better drinking 10 years from now if kept in good condition or would it be the same if I just bought it in 2034?

    Question from a whiskey beginner: I wanted to buy the bottle of Glenlivet 18, but noticed there is only the new bottle with 40% ABV. Are these 2 bottles the same whisky with only difference that new one is mixed with more water or are they 2 completly different whiskies?

    • @Whiskycom
      @Whiskycom  11 місяців тому

      In the course of the design change of the 18-year-old Glenlivet, the alcohol strength was also reduced from 43% vol. to 40% vol. to bring it in line with the other quality. The taste is more or less the same

    • @Whiskycom
      @Whiskycom  4 місяці тому

      That's a shame to hear! The only way we can explain it is that the Glenlivet 18 year old was relaunched a few years ago, lowering the alcohol strength from 43% to 40%. 3% alcohol may not sound like too much at first, but it can certainly influence the taste of the whisky. In this video we still had the Glenlivet with 43% in the glass, if you already have the newer version, this could be the reason for the different taste.
