Not sure why you were negged, legit question.
The 18YO is rich, sweet and fruity, similar characteristics to the 12YO, but the 18YO is far better in my opinion.
Great price to try now.

Just finished a Glenlivit 18, can't think of a good enough reason to leave that space empty!
Good price!
Out of curiosity which 18yo expression specifically is this?
