Production of the 18 Years Old by The Glenlivet

The production of the 18 Years Old - The Glenlivet begins with the finest ingredients. Only the highest quality barley is selected to guarantee the distinctive character of the whisky. The barley is malted and subsequently used for the mash. This process uses fresh spring water from the Highlands, known for its purity. Fermentation occurs in traditional fermentation tanks, which promote the development of fruity aromas.

Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, which highlight the elegant style of Glenlivet whisky. This method ensures a gentle separation of aromas and a high quality of the end product. After distillation, the whisky ages for at least 18 years in hand-selected oak barrels, which gives the 18 Years Old its characteristic complexity and depth. The maturation occurs in carefully chosen barrels that were previously used for aging sherry. This imparts additional fruit and spice nuances to the whisky.
