Description
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Rum & Bourbon Cask Strength 55.3% (Taiwan Exclusive) represents a bold step into uncharted territory for the renowned distillery, marking the first time they have combined three cask types in a single expression. This innovative spirit, bottled at its full cask strength, delivers an unparalleled tasting experience, reminiscent of sampling directly from the barrel.
After 12 years of maturation in American oak barrels, selected portions of the whisky were transferred to ex-Caribbean rum casks and ex-bourbon barrels, respectively. This unique “golden ratio” blend of the three cask types creates a multi-layered complexity, brimming with tropical fruit aromas, a testament to the influence of the rum casks. The bourbon barrels contribute familiar vanilla and spice notes, while the American oak base provides a solid foundation.
Bottled at a robust 55.3% cask strength and without chill filtration, this whisky stays true to its raw, unadulterated character. This pioneering approach, bottling at cask strength without chill filtration, is a rarity within the industry, further cementing this expression’s exclusivity and appeal to whisky aficionados.
This Taiwan Exclusive release is a testament to Glenlivet’s spirit of innovation, pushing boundaries while honoring the brand’s legacy of excellence. For those seeking a truly immersive and unique whisky experience, this limited-edition release offers an unparalleled journey into the heart of cask maturation and blending artistry.
