A collector's expression at a premium price point.

This special reserve from the 1970s was crafted for the Italian market at a robust 43%, offering more punch and character than standard exports of the era. Glenlivet's typical orchard fruit and malt foundation is complemented by the fuller body and spice that comes from the higher strength and its era of distillation. The finish carries warmth and depth reflective of how the distillery's spirit performed before modern standardisation. A window into a time when Glenlivet commanded more flavour intensity.
