Glenlivet 14 Year Old Scotch Finished in Ex-Cognac Casks

The Glenlivet Scotch Finished in Ex-Cognac Casks is a 14 year old succulent scotch that is targeted towards a new generation of whisky drinkers through bold and unconventional flavor combinations and finishing techniques. This particular Glenlivet Scotch is first aged in first fill American sherry casks, before being finished for an undisclosed amount of time in ex-Cognac casks.

With an incredibly smooth and luscious finish, this scotch captures you at the very first sip, as the sweet and fruity notes of mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate-dipped raisins immerse across the palate, and fill you up with warmth and homeliness inside. Likewise under the nose, humble hints of honey and apricot jam, with sweet cinnamon bread evoke dreamy memories of all of your childhood desires.

This Glenlivet scotch finished in old Cognac casks is a unique and innovative offering from the house of Glenlivet that boasts a new tasting experience for the modern whisky lover. As the blend of rich Cognac-cask flavoring combined with the brands signature fruity, smooth style are guaranteed to captivate single malt drinkers looking to explore.

The Glenlivet Scotch single malt whisky distillery is owned by spirits giant Pernod Ricard, therefore the brand has plenty of whisky to throw around, allowing operations to boast plenty of latitude in the products they release. One such variant is the exploration of finishing expressions in other types of casks, and the Glenlivet Scotch Finished in Ex-Cognac Casks is a prime example and delicious emblem of such pioneering and experimental work behind the brand.
