Journey of Discovery

 
 

Elemental Elegance with Effortless Complexity.

A high proportion of first fill sherry-seasoned oak casks contribute significantly to The 18's distinct, vibrant character.  Two types of oak are used to instil different dimensions to the whisky - American oak offers a lighter, sweeter flavour whilst European oak adds a richness and spice.  However, it is the time spent in these casks which makes the biggest difference to our spirit. 

After 18 years of absorbing and evolving, our crisp and fruity spirit is enriched.  The unexpected begins to emerge: what had been simple, becomes more subtle.  Deeper dimensions unfurl and linger.  A richly rounded flavour blooms. 

Elemental elegance with effortless complexity.

Ginger and vanilla

Aroma

Ripe pear and sweet vanilla pods, tempered by aromatic orange oil. Invigorating almond notes and a well-rounded fragrance add complexity, whilst a hint of dried ginger spice creates unassuming depth.
Pear Branch Flavour Profile

Taste

A rich and deep flavour, alive with sweet ginger, pear and rose water. Aromatic fruit and light oak create gentle spice, which balances nicely against an undercurrent of creamy vanilla.
Delphinium

Finish

Divine sweetness balanced with spice and a gently peppery undertone.
