Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail (PR GTR) has launched The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection, a new aged range of 14, 16, and 19 Year Old expressions.
This new permanent collection of aged single malts, exclusively available in Global Travel Retail, celebrates the mastery and vision of Cask Master Kevin Balmforth, and showcases The Glenlivet’s iconic smooth style, says the company.
The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection features three distinct expressions:
· The Glenlivet 14 Year Old: Matured in American and European Oak, this expression offers a balance of flavor, with notes of baked apple and citrus zest, delivering a smooth and complex experience. The crystal waters of the Livet are reflected in the pack’s crystalline blue color gradient.
· The Glenlivet 16 Year Old: Aged exclusively in 100% American Oak casks, The Glenlivet 16 Year Old is a pairing of whisky and cask, resulting in a sweet and creamy profile with notes of creamy toffee and ripe plum. The Speyside sunset inspires the pack’s bold red gradient.
· The Glenlivet 19 Year Old: Marking a first for the brand, The Glenlivet 19 Year Old features a selective finish in Scottish Oak, paying tribute to The Glenlivet’s terroir. Alongside maturation in American and European Oak, the Scottish Oak finish brings notes of stewed apples and blackcurrant spice, for a rich yet smooth drinking experience. Scottish Oak trees grow slowly due to the local climate, reaching maturation between 120 and 150 years. This not only makes Scottish Oak very rare, but it also means the grain is tight and porous, contributing to the rich spice flavor notes in the whisky. The pack design is inspired by the changing hues of the forests of Scotland, where the Scottish Oak resides.
Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Master commented: “With these three distinctive expressions, we have concentrated on what makes our Single Malt Scotch Whiskies stand out: the mastery of the makers, the character of our stills, and above all, the smoothness of our liquid. By honoring our heritage while continuing to push the boundaries of flavor with carefully selected casks, we’ve curated a collection that is a quality expression of Speyside whiskies.”
The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection also marks the reveal of an elevated and distinctive contemporary design for brand. The refreshed packaging includes a new brand monogram together with on-pack wave graphics, reflecting the meaning of The Glenlivet (‘The Valley of the Smooth Flowing One’).
The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection is now available exclusively in Global Travel Retail locations worldwide.
