  Glenlivet 12 years old Double Oak Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19540

  Two casks, one whisky. The Glenlivet's 12 year old core range rests on a simple idea: let two different oaks speak to each other until the balance is just right.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet 12 Year Old Double Oak is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 12 years and bottled at 40%.

  The whisky is part of The Glenlivet's core range and, as the name suggests, matured in two different cask types: first traditional American oak casks, then European oak casks that add an extra layer of flavour. The result is a remarkably floral, clean and soft whisky, where sweetness and a light dryness keep each other in check.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Floral and clean, with peach and a pronounced vanilla note.

  Palate

  Soft and delicately balanced between sweetness and a light dryness, with peach and vanilla as recurring notes.

  Finish

  Long with a gentle, warm close.

  Glenlivet 15 år French Oak Single Speyside Malt Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 22227865396-33

  French oak is rarely The Glenlivet's first choice, but when the distillery reaches for it anyway, the result is worth the 15 year wait.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, matured for 15 years and bottled at 40%.

  The whisky belonged to The Glenlivet's former age-statement range, where the 15 year old expression stood out for its use of French oak in maturation, instead of the American oak that otherwise dominates the distillery's range. The French oak lends the whisky a drier, more spiced structure that balances the soft, fruity character The Glenlivet is known for.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Floral and light, with ripe apples and a hint of honey, where the French oak contributes a dry, spiced undertone.

  Palate

  Round and balanced with pears and vanilla, where the oak's spice offers a counterpoint to the natural sweetness.

  Finish

  Medium length and dry, with a final hint of oak and honey.

  Did You Know?

  French oak is used far more often for wine maturation than for whisky, and The Glenlivet's 15 Year Old French Oak is one of the relatively few Scotch single malts to have made this cask type a deliberate stylistic choice.

  Glenlivet 1983/2003 Cellar Collection 20 år Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865396-1

  Some casks the distillery never forgets. A few remain in the warehouse year after year, while the rest of the vintage is sold and drunk, until they are finally ready to earn a chapter of their own. Glenlivet 1983 is one of those casks.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet 1983/2003 Cellar Collection 20 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, matured in French Limousin oak and bottled at 46%.

  The whisky was distilled in 1983 and drawn from the cask again in 2003 as part of The Glenlivet's Cellar Collection, a series in which the distillery's management selected casks that show the house's classic style in a more mature and complex form. French Limousin oak is a deliberate choice, distinct from the American and Spanish oak the whisky is usually matured in, and it lends the bottle a note of spice and a tighter wood character than one usually associates with Glenlivet. The whisky is bottled without chill filtration, preserving its natural oils and structure.

  After 20 years, the light, fruity style Glenlivet is known for has had time to develop into something deeper, without losing the freshness that defines the distillery.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe pears and green apples meet honey and vanilla, with a hint of citrus and a light spiced undertone from the Limousin oak.

  Palate

  Round and full with tropical fruit, malt and toffee, where the long maturation gives a creamy texture and a subtle balance between sweetness and spice.

  Finish

  Long and elegant with oak, dried fruit and a discreet nutty tone.

  Did You Know?

  The casks for the Cellar Collection were personally selected by then distillery manager Jim Cryle, who led The Glenlivet through much of the 1980s and 1990s and was behind several of the distillery's most acclaimed experiments with French oak.

  Item no.: 2222-888745

  Four months can make quite a difference where cask strength is concerned. This cask was emptied in April 2021, half a year before its sibling cask from the same distillate, and came out even stronger.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet 2006/2021 Signatory Vintage 14 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled at cask strength of 62.2%.

  The whisky is distilled at The Glenlivet on 12 December 2006 and bottled by Signatory Vintage on 26 April 2021 after 14 years of maturation in a first fill sherry butt (cask no. 901279). It is bottled at natural colour in a limited release of only 598 bottles.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense sherry character with dark berries, a touch of roasted nuts and a spiced warmth already noticeable on the nose.

  Palate

  Rich and full with dark fruit, caramel and a pronounced peppery power that fills the whole palate.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with the sherry's depth the last thing to fade.

  Did You Know?

  A first fill sherry cask, meaning a cask that has only previously held sherry and never whisky before this filling, typically gives a far more intense colour and flavour influence than a refill cask, which explains the deep sherry character in this bottling.

  Glenlivet 21 year old Gordon & MacPhail Single Highland Malt Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 22227865438-339

  When the Duke of Gordon pushed a new excise law through in 1823, he forced a young farmer named George Smith to pick a side. That choice created the distillery that has since given its name to the entire valley, and to this bottle.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet 21 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail is a Single Highland Malt Whisky, matured for 21 years and bottled at 40%.

  The whisky is distilled at The Glenlivet and bottled by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail of Elgin, who since 1895 have specialised in selecting and maturing single malt whisky from Scottish distilleries. The Glenlivet distillery's roots trace back to 1815, when illicit distilling was already taking place in the area, long before George Smith leased land at Upper Drumin Farm in 1817 and obtained the first official licence in 1824. The distillery's success led several neighbours to attach "Glenlivet" to their own names, which in 1880 ended in a court case ruling that only one whisky had the right to be called "The Glenlivet".

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Mature and rounded, with dried fruit and a hint of honey, typical of a long-matured Gordon & MacPhail bottling.

  Palate

  Soft and rounded with notes of nuts and a light spiced warmth that builds on the fruity base character.

  Finish

  Long and elegant, with a dry, lightly oaked close.

  Investment Potential

  Medium. Older Gordon & MacPhail bottlings of The Glenlivet from previous years are no longer in production in this exact form, giving them growing interest among collectors of independent bottlings.

  Did You Know?

  Gordon & MacPhail historically classified The Glenlivet under the "Highland" designation rather than "Speyside", an older regional division still seen on some of their labels, even though most whisky drinkers today place the distillery in Speyside.

  Glenlivet Coupar Angus 15 year old Limited Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57,9%

  Item no.: 22227865396-235

  One cask, 564 bottles, four Nordic countries to share them. That is how the story of Coupar Angus begins, a bottle never meant for a large audience, and precisely for that reason so sought after.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet Coupar Angus 15 Year Old Limited Edition is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, drawn straight from a single sherry cask at cask strength of 57.9%.

  The whisky is a distillery bottling, released exclusively to be shared between the four Nordic countries, with only 564 bottles of this specific release reaching Scandinavia. The cask has spent 15 years maturing in American white oak and belongs to what the distillery calls its Nordic Cask series, single casks selected specifically for the Nordic market. The name Coupar Angus refers to a location near the distillery, in keeping with The Glenlivet's tradition of naming single cask releases after places in the area.

  To join the community around The Glenlivet's single cask releases, whisky lovers can sign up to the distillery's Guardians of The Glenlivet through theglenlivet.com.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fruity with banana and orange, carried by sharpened pencils, nuts and a hint of clove. With water, more tropical fruit and a touch of dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry emerge.

  Palate

  Sweet from the start with berries and citrus fruit, cinnamon and a creamy texture, where caramel and a touch of chocolate mingle with a peppery, tingling heat mid-palate.

  Finish

  Long and spiced with notes of chocolate, caramel and liquorice, finished with a touch of fruit.

  Glenlivet Founders Reserve Single Speyside Malt Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 22227865396-225

  In 1824, George Smith stood alone with his licence and his defiance of the Scottish farmers who refused to pay tax on their home-distilled whisky. Two centuries later, this bottle still carries his name forward as a tribute to the man who founded The Glenlivet.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet Founders Reserve is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, bottled at 40% with no age statement.

  The whisky launched in 2015 as a tribute to the distillery's founder and was intended to eventually take over from the popular Glenlivet 12 Year Old in the core range. Founders Reserve is matured in a combination of traditional American oak casks and new bourbon casks used only once, the first time The Glenlivet had used this cask type. The combination gives the whisky a creamy, sweet character with pronounced vanilla. On release, Founders Reserve won gold at the 2015 Scotch Whisky Masters, cementing its place in the distillery's range.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Citrus and a hint of orange open things up, carried by a gentle sweetness.

  Palate

  Orange peel, pears, peach and blossom meet vanilla in a classic fruity Glenlivet style.

  Finish

  Creamy and soft, with a lingering sweetness that rounds off the flavour nicely.

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

  Item no.: 22227865396-8000

  Expert Description

  Cipher was one of The Glenlivet's limited releases, developed as part of a campaign in which the distillery played with mystery and code themes around the flavour.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh and fruity in typical Glenlivet style, with a sweetness that hints at the power waiting in the palate.

  Palate

  Powerful with pronounced spice that builds across the palate.

  Finish

  Glenlivet Nordic Single Cask 2017 Creag an Innean Single Speyside Malt Whisky 61,2%

  Item no.: 22227865396-240

  High above the Glenlivet valley sits a hill that once mattered a great deal to smugglers. Creag An Innean gave them a view over the road south, and an edge over the excisemen.

  Expert Description

  Glenlivet Nordic Single Cask 2017 Creag An Innean is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, drawn from a single Oloroso sherry cask at cask strength of 61.2%.

  The whisky is a distillery bottling from The Glenlivet, released specifically for the Scandinavian market, with only 618 bottles from this one Spanish Oloroso sherry cask (cask no. 58013). The name Creag An Innean refers to a hill near the distillery that, in the 19th century, served as a lookout point for whisky smugglers heading south to the market in Dundee, a place from which they could watch for excisemen and plan their routes well in advance.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  A rich aroma of sweet dates and sherry-soaked raisins, carried by spiced oak and liquorice, with caramel, toffee, candied orange peel and a touch of ginger.

  Palate

  Spiced cinnamon meets soft raisins and freshly baked ginger biscuits, well balanced against a sweetness reminiscent of strawberry jam.

  Finish

  Soft with a discreet, spiced close.

  Did You Know?

  The name Creag An Innean is Gaelic and translates roughly as "the crag by the cattle fold", a reminder that the land around The Glenlivet was for centuries shaped as much by farming and cattle as by the illicit distilling that later made the place famous.
