Continuing its tradition for creating definitive Speyside Single Malts, THE whisky, The Glenlivet, is proud to present The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) – cask strength, non-chill filtered Scotch whisky crafted exclusively for connoisseurs in Malaysia. It was recently revealed at a closed tasting session held in the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur.
Attended by the members of the media and The Guardians of The Glenlivet from The Malaysian Chapter, Single Malt enthusiasts were treated to the tasting of The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) in an exploration of the pure, rare and unique expression of the latest limited edition from The Definitive Single Malt.
Set to be a coveted collectors’ item, there are only 276 bottles of this definitive Speyside Single Malt available. Drawn from an individual Second fill Hogshead cask by The Glenlivet’s expert team, The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) is a tribute to The Glenlivet’s rich heritage and wealth of expertise. No two casks are ever the same and the result is a rare and distinctive taste.
Matured for 18 years before being bottled at cask strength and 60.5% ABV without chill-filtration, The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) captures the incredibly rich and distinct flavour of the cask itself, locking in its character, resulting in an elegant combination of delicate floral aromas and fresh orchard fruits, leaving you with an incredibly soft, sweet and slightly dry finish.
Each bottle of The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) is individually numbered and presented in a hand-crafted wooden box to echo the craftsmanship that went into the whisky within.
“This limited edition whisky will be a rare whisky highly sought by many. The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032) is indeed a beautiful piece of art that carries with it three distinctive qualities; rare, exclusive and quality. A fine tradition that started since 2005, we are proud that the craft continues into producing the finest Single Malt whisky until today, and The Guardians of The Glenlivet as well as whisky connoisseurs from Malaysia will get to taste it first before the rest of the world does,” said Pernod Ricard Malaysia Marketing Director, Emmanuel Dokhelar.
The Glenlivet Master Distiller Alan Winchester, commented: “Through The Glenlivet 18YO Single Cask Edition (Cask 8032), Single Malt enthusiasts can own an exclusive piece of The Glenlivet’s history. Each bottle is the result of a combination of liquid, cask and age and can never be replicated again. Embracing the cask’s original character and flavour, it offers one of the purest Single Malt experiences available and the finished product is a whisky that our founder, George Smith – a man who pioneered the original Speyside style – would be proud of.”
