The Glenlivet, the original Speyside single malt that set the Speyside style, raises a dram to two centuries of whisky craftsmanship, honouring its rich legacy whilst committing to forever moving forwards and continuously setting new standards in whisky for the next 200 years. 2024 will see a year of celebrations with bold and original innovations and initiatives, kicking off with the release of this latest limited-edition.
The Glenlivet 200 Year Anniversary 12 Year
Old, is said to deliver notes of fresh tangerines, pineapple slices and
indulgent crème caramel on the nose. Followed by notes of ripe, juicy pear,
coconut shavings and creamy vanilla on the palate.
The artwork for the new limited-edition was selected through
a crowdsourcing campaign, whereby The Glenlivet invited emerging artists
worldwide to submit their take on its ethos of forever moving forwards. The
winning bicentennial design from Studio Berdi in Colombia encapsulates The
Glenlivet's journey from its inception by bold founder George Smith, to the
whisky’s current status as a pioneering single malt, stepping into the next 200
years of innovation and excellence.
Commenting on the launch, Jayne Murphy, Chivas Brothers
Marketing Director for Malts, said: “This year is an important landmark
anniversary for The Glenlivet as we look back to look forward towards the next
200 years. Since our founder George Smith introduced Speyside single malt
whisky to the world in 1824, we’ve been committed to challenging conventions
and will continue to craft the future of single malt whisky while setting new
and uncharted standards of excellence. We extend a heartfelt invitation to
everyone to join us in raising a dram with our celebratory limited-edition
12-Year-Old and we look forward to the celebrations to come throughout the
year. Here’s to the next 200 years!”
