A Storied Legacy: Two Centuries of Whisky Excellence
Established in 1824, The Glenlivet distillery is widely recognized as the pioneer of the Speyside whisky style. Over two centuries, it has set the standard for smooth, balanced, and intricately crafted single malts. The distillery’s rich history is deeply rooted in the rugged landscapes of Speyside, where the pure waters and unique climate create the perfect environment for whisky maturation.
This limited edition 12 Year Old is a tribute to The Glenlivet’s enduring legacy — a whisky that honors the past while embracing modern craftsmanship techniques. It encapsulates the very essence of the distillery’s commitment to quality and innovation over 200 years.
Crafted with a Bespoke American Oak Cask Finish
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Limited Edition is matured exclusively in 100% American Oak casks, chosen for their ability to impart distinctive flavour notes and enhance the whisky’s complexity. This bespoke cask finish is meticulously tailored to complement the natural fruity and sweet profile of The Glenlivet, creating a rich and layered spirit.
American Oak contributes a beautiful vanilla sweetness, soft caramel tones, and subtle spice, harmonizing perfectly with the whisky’s inherent character. The casks act not only as vessels of maturation but also as an integral ingredient in shaping the whisky’s unique flavour profile.
An Inviting Symphony of Tasting Notes
The whisky opens with bright, fresh aromas of tangerines and pineapple slices — a zesty and tropical introduction that awakens the senses. As the flavours develop, the palate is treated to the creamy richness of hazelnut praline, lending a nutty sweetness that balances the initial fruitiness.
Hints of sweet vanilla and crème caramel add layers of warmth and indulgence, while delicate floral notes linger subtly on the finish, rounding out a perfectly balanced experience. The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Limited Edition showcases a refined Speyside style that is simultaneously fresh, sweet, and complex.
Versatility in Every Sip: How to Enjoy
Whether you are a whisky purist or enjoy experimenting with cocktails, this Glenlivet release offers versatility that suits all preferences.
- Neat or with a splash of water: Sipping this whisky neat reveals its full aromatic and flavour complexity. A few drops of water can help open the cask-influenced notes, softening the spirit and releasing more nuanced flavours.
- On the rocks: Serving over ice provides a cooling effect and gradual dilution, making the whisky smooth and approachable while maintaining its rich character.
- In cocktails: The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Limited Edition lends itself beautifully to classic and modern whisky cocktails. Try it in an Old Fashioned to highlight its vanilla and caramel notes, or mix a whisky sour for a refreshing citrus balance. It also works wonderfully in creative concoctions like a Glenlivet Ginger Fizz or a tropical whisky highball.
