Description
The Glenlivet's 200th Anniversary edition returns to American oak maturation, a deliberate departure from the distillery's traditional European and American oak blend. First-fill ex-bourbon casks deliver pronounced vanilla, buttery oak, and toasted coconut alongside the house's signature juicy citrus and tropical fruit character. The texture is creamy and rounded, with sweetness balancing the wood influence throughout. A special bottling for Speyside enthusiasts curious about how cask selection shapes the classic Glenlivet profile.
