- Description
- This 1961 vintage bottled by the distillery in the 1980s represents whisky distilled in the early 1960s and matured for over two decades in oak. Glenlivet's elegant fruity and floral foundation deepens with age into something more complex, with heather honey, orchard stone fruits, and subtle oak giving the palate considerable sophistication. At 43%, the spirit shows the balance Glenlivet's distillery character maintains across decades. A significant vintage for collectors of classic Speyside.
