The Glenlivet unveils Distillery Reserve collection

The Glenlivet has unveiled a new whisky range, the Distillery Reserve Collection, which launches with three iconic whiskies.

The 10, 14 and 22 Years Old single-cask expressions are designed to showcase the Speyside distillery's finest craftsmanship.

In a first for The Glenlivet, each of the Distillery Reserve editions will be available for pre-order from theglenlivet.com. Ordinally, such releases would only be available to purchase at the distillery. 

The three expressions are bottled at cask strength without chill filtration. Each bottle in the collection has been individually numbered to identify the age, cask type and bottling date. New stylised labels have been designed for the collection, which aim to illustrate the journey of each expression before it was drawn from the cask.

The Glenlivet Distillery Reserve Collection 10 Years Old is taken from a first-fill sherry cask, with 849 bottles available. Also from a first-fill sherry cask and presenting with more mature flavours, the 14 Years Old is limited to a run of 700 bottles. Completing the trio is the 22 Years Old, from a first-fill American barrel, of which just 277 bottles will be available.

Linda Brown, brand home manager at The Glenlivet, said: "Usually, these limited-edition collections would be available only to guests visiting the distillery in person. However, we've taken this opportunity to make them available for pre-order through our website for advocates and collectors of The Glenlivet across the world.

"The rare collection celebrates the best the distillery and Speyside has to offer and is a testament to the rich, bold flavours our makers can achieve. The Distillery Reserve Collection offers something truly unique in terms of taste, quality and experience."
