Glenlivet Miniature Code Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 cl 48%

Cipher got a little sibling. Where one hid its character behind a name, The Glenlivet let Code turn the riddle itself into part of the experience.

Expert Description

Glenlivet Miniature Code Limited Edition is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky in miniature format, bottled at 48%.

The 5 cl miniature was intended as a compact introduction to a more intense side of the distillery's range, with a strength and structure well above the core range's 40% expressions.
