    Glenlivet prices

    Similar to other whiskey brands, Glenlivet is present in a variety of options such as Founder’s Reserve, 12-Year-Old, 18-Year-Old, First Fill Selection, Peated Whisky Cask Finish, and many more. So let’s check all the different products of Glenlivet.

    1) Founder’s Reserve

     The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve has been created using the time-honoured distillation methods that he introduced so long ago. Made with water from the same crystal-clear mountain streams, in the same cold, pure air, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whisky that first ran from the original copper pot stills. These unique, lantern-shaped copper stills, designed by the man himself, are not the only important tools in our distilling legacy. The traditional oak casks in which we mature the whisky give each expression its own distinct characteristics. 

    2) 12 Year Old

    This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.” Representing The Glenlivet’s signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it’s distinctive smoothness. 

    3) 15 Year Old

    The 15 Year Old gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. In fact, we at The Glenlivet were one of the first to use French oak for making Whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak we use is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs. 

    4) 18 Year Old

    Over the course of 18 years our Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced. 

    5) 21 Year Old

    Meticulously crafted over its 21 years, this whisky is put through a combination of hand-selected American oak and ex-sherry casks, which impart the distinctive flavour of dried fruits and a bold richness, vibrant intensity and long finish. Each cask is hand-selected and individually nosed and approved, and every batch has its own special nuances, making it a rare and unique liquid indeed. 

    6) 25 Year Old

    Using some of the rarest of our whiskies, all of which have been aged for at least 25 years, this is a batch-produced whisky finished in ex-sherry butts. The team of Glenlivet selects each cask and monitor the whisky in its finishing process to make sure the Oloroso-soaked wood adds the subtlest sherry tones to an intense, silky and elegant whisky. 

    7) Nadurra Olorose

    The Nàdurra range uses traditional 19th-century production methods to create inventive and original whiskies. This version is matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry oak casks from the Spanish region of Jerez. The sherry-soaked wood introduces the rich, sultry flavours of dried fruit and warm spice. Nàdurra Oloroso, like all expressions in the range, is bottled and released in small batches, and, unlike most modern whiskies, is non-chill filtered so has all the body you would expect from a whisky that has been drawn straight from the cask.

    8) Nadurra First Fill Selection

     This is a cask-strength single malt that represents the tradition of The Glenlivet. And unlike most modern whiskies, this one is non-chill filtered, so it’s very richly textured. It’s an expression that will appeal to the intrepid whisky lover. The Nàdurra First Fill Selection is also bottled at 48% for Travel Retail. 

    9) Nadurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish

    Nàdurra family boldly draws its inspiration from The Glenlivet’s historic whisky-making traditions in which peat smoke was used to dry the malted barley, lending a smoky flavour to the whisky. Unlike its two siblings, the Nàdurra Peated Whisky is finished in casks that previously held heavily peated Scotch whisky, giving a gently smoky twist to the classic, smooth and fruity house style.

    10) Master Distiller’s Reserve Small Batch

    Released only in small batches, this exclusive expression features some of the finest and most rare whiskies that The Glenvilet distillery has to offer. The three different oak casks add layers of flavour, giving warmth, fruit and hints of spice. You might also detect syrupy peaches, orange marmalade, vanilla, ginger and liquorice. The smell is irresistible, and the finish is long and spicy.

    11) Master’s Distiller’s Reserve

    The cornerstone of the range, the Master Distiller’s Reserve showcases the approach perfectly: the traditional oak casks represent the classic style of The Glenlivet (ripe pear, gentle summary notes), while first-fill American oak provides depth and creaminess (coconut, soft fudge).

    12) Master Distiller’s Reserve Solera Vatted

    The Glenlivet Master Distiller’s Reserve range its truly exceptional character. Alan Winchester, our Master Distiller, first triple cask matures the spirit in traditional oak, American first-fill and ex-sherry casks.

    Glenlivet Mixed Drinks

    As with other upscale drink brands, you really do not want to mix Glenlivet with anything else. It is best consumed either neat or on the rocks. Once you start mixing it up, it loses its fine taste and you might as well just get a cheaper scotch for mixing. Regardless, we know that some people just love to make mixed drinks, so we’ve gathered a few recipes that will work well with Glenlivet.
