The Glenlivet 21 Year Old (43% ABV) has been triple finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry, Troncais oak Cognac and Vintage Colheita port casks, and is said to deliver notes of caramelised pears, juicy sultanas, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon.
The Glenlivet 25 Year Old (43% ABV) has been finished in Pedro
Ximénez Sherry and Troncais oak Cognac casks, and is said to deliver notes of
ginger, toasted oak and charred pineapple.
The brand is also introducing a new bold design for the
bottle and the box; an evolution of Glenlivet’s signature original look. The
new colour tones play on the brand’s iconic turquoise palette, whilst adding a
darker and rich twist with the premium copper finish.
Commenting on the launch, Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet
Cask Expert, said: “This has been an exciting opportunity to elevate two iconic
whiskies – our 21 and 25 Year Old Originals – developing an end result full of
layers of flavour and richness. The Sample Room Collection from The Glenlivet
is breaking new ground in whisky, setting new standards in taste and quality
through craftsmanship and refined cask finishes.”
The new Glenlivet 21 and 25 Year Old Sample Collection
bottlings, will be available later next month from specialist retailers, for
the respective RRP’s of €250.00 and €600.00.
