The Glenlivet is breaking convention with the release of The Glenlivet 14 Year Old — the first in portfolio to be finished in ex-Cognac casks in the U.S. market.
Exclusively available stateside, the new expression is the latest step in the distillery’s outreach to a new generation of whisky drinkers.
“We crafted The Glenlivet 14 Year Old with the curious single malt community in mind,” said Alan Winchester, The Glenlivet Master Distiller. “The beauty of the whisky lover is that their palate is always evolving, searching for the next flavor experience, and we’re proud to add this delicious aged single malt, with portions selectively finished in ex-cognac casks, to our portfolio. The blend of rich Cognac-cask flavor influences and our signature fruity, smooth style are guaranteed to captivate single malt drinkers looking to explore.”
To sync with the new color of The Glenlivet 14 Year Old’s packaging, the brand has teamed up with the Purple Heart Foundation to give back by encouraging consumers to raise a glass to service members. For every bottle sold to participating retailers from now until Dec. 31, 2019, The Glenlivet will donate $1 to The Purple Heart Foundation, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $50,000, up to $100,000.
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old is available for $55.
