Description
Distilled in the 1940s and bottled as a limited 2,400-bottle run in the late 1960s for Baretto, Glenlivet's Italian importer, this 20-year-old represents a singular moment in the distillery's history. Post-war distillation and 20 years in oak created a whisky of exceptional depth, with the orchard fruit and floral character Speyside is known for enhanced by waxy texture and subtle oak influence. Bottled at 45.7%, the spirit retains full vibrancy and complexity. A historical rarity that rewards patient contemplation.
