Established in 1824 in the Livet Valley of Speyside, Scotland, as the first government-licensed distillery, The Glenlivet has been cherished worldwide for over 200 years as a premier Speyside single malt. The distillery is renowned for its fruity, floral, elegant, and smooth character. 'The Glenlivet Small Batch Collection' is a series that pursues the essence of this signature Speyside house style, reimagining its flavors and aromas. The distillery’s expert team hand-selects only the finest casks from their extensive inventory. By avoiding cask finishing, the collection highlights the pure, elevated character of the original spirit. These are exceptionally rare whiskies with very limited annual production.

The second release of 'The Glenlivet Small Batch Collection' builds upon the concept of the inaugural series. While maintaining the same age statements, it introduces new flavor profiles and cask marriages to achieve an even more refined experience. The lineup includes the 17 Year Old, characterized by gentle sweetness reminiscent of natural nectar; the 19 Year Old, featuring luxurious chocolate nuances; and the 20 Year Old, with an impressive orchard-fruit character. Each offers a unique, rich flavor profile while retaining the signature smoothness of The Glenlivet.

We invite you to experience the rare and exquisite taste of 'The Glenlivet Small Batch Collection'.
