Close match 01
Cardhu 18 Year Old
Cardhu 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Cardhu · The Whisky Exchange

A soft, elegant Speyside single malt bottled at 40% ABV. Eighteen years in cask layers rich fruit, leather and dark chocolate over Cardhu's signature honeyed, approachable base. If you love The Glenlivet 18's polished, gently fruity Speyside character, Cardhu 18 is your closest companion — same region, same age statement, and the same crowd-pleasing approachability that makes both distilleries perennial favourites. You get a step up in richness from Cardhu's younger expressions without ever losing that smooth, easy-drinking quality. It's the kind of dram you'll keep reaching for, evening after evening.

Close match 02
Aberlour 18 Year Old
Aberlour 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Aberlour · The Whisky Exchange

A heavily sherried Speyside single malt with round, opulent character. Rich dried fruit, textured mouthfeel, and the classic warmth you'd expect from a long-aged Speyside — ABV not listed but bottled at standard distillery strength. Like The Glenlivet 18, Aberlour's 18 Year Old sits in the premium-aged Speyside sweet spot — refined, rich, and unmistakably classic. Where Glenlivet leans on floral elegance, Aberlour turns up the sherry dial, giving you a deeper, more decadent experience from a completely different producer. If you enjoy the complexity and length that 18 years in oak brings, you'll find Aberlour delivers all of that and more, with a sumptuous fruitiness that feels like a natural next step in your whisky journey.

Wildcard pick 03
Tomatin 18 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Finish
Tomatin 18 Year Old / Oloroso Sherry Finish Highland Whisky
Tomatin · The Whisky Exchange

A Highland single malt bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural colour, finished in Oloroso sherry butts. Expect honey, raisins, dark cherries, baked apple and warming cinnamon-ginger spice. This is the unexpected discovery for fans of The Glenlivet 18 who are ready to explore beyond Speyside. Tomatin is a criminally underrated Highland distillery, and the Oloroso sherry finish adds a layer of luscious dried-fruit depth that feels luxurious yet totally approachable — much like the style you already love. At 46% and non-chill filtered, you get noticeably more texture and intensity than a standard 40% bottling, without sacrificing elegance. It's a brilliant way to see how a different region and a sherry-finish approach can deliver the same warmth and sophistication in a whole new direction.
