✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve represents an innovative bridge between the historic, mist-shrouded hills of Speyside and the vibrant, sun-drenched islands of the Caribbean. To craft this distinctive expression, a portion of the single malt whisky—distilled in Glenlivet's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills and drawing from the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well—is selectively finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. This finishing process imparts a luscious tropical twist of ripe bananas, sweet red apple, and warm caramel to the distillery's classic smooth, summery, and floral Speyside character. It pays homage to the spirit of adventure and experimentation that has defined the distillery since George Smith secured the first legal license in the glen in 1824.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Glenlivet blev grundlagt i 1824 af George Smith i den afsidesliggende Livet Valley i skotske Speyside, og destilleriet har en historisk særstatus som det allerførste i sognet, der opnåede officiel licens efter Excise Act i 1823. I dag hører destilleriet under Chivas Brothers og Pernod Ricard. Det mineralrige vand hentes fra Josie's Well, og destillationen foregår på høje, lanterneformede kobberkedler, hvilket skaber en bemærkelsesværdig let og elegant spiritus. The Glenlivet er berømt for at have sat standarden for klassisk Speyside single malt whisky med sin bløde, frugtige profil præget af modne æbler fra frugtplantagen, fine florale nuancer og et diskret strejf af eg – en stil, der udfolder sig smukt i alt fra den ikoniske 12 Year Old til sjældne aftapninger i Winchester- og Cellar Collection-serierne.
