The Glenlivet Triple Cask Matured Distiller's Reserve

Product Information

This Lagavulin 1981 is a special Distiller's Edition that was distilled in 1981 at the Islay based distillery before being matured in Sherry casks and then bottled in 2000. Introducing Glenlivet Triple Cask Matured Rare Cask, a travel retail exclusive from the world-renowned Scottish distillery. This Glenlivet matures in traditional oak barrels, then in a barrel of American white oak and finally in ex-sherry barrels. This exquisite whisky is matured in three different types of casks, with a significant portion of its ageing process taking place in sherry casks. The Glenlivet distillery is a distillery near Ballindalloch in Moray, Scotland that produces single malt Scotch whisky.

At IDS we aim to create a culture of sustainability, guiding our decision making and direction as a business with an international scope. To craft this exceptional liquid, three types of casks – ex-sherry, American Oak and Traditional Oak – are brought together to create a deep, velvety taste with subtle, creamy coconut and vanilla notes. It is this ethos and attitude that we are proud to say is embedded across our company and infused in everything we do. For a richer, intense character, our craftsmen have also used the ‘never-emptied’ solera vat to complete the maturation for a sweet and velvety taste profile. Much like the 2016 edition, this whisky was hugely popular upon release and as such it’s very hard to come by today.With a wonderful balance of fruity and smooth tasting notes, this is a truly fine expression with a strength of 40% ABV. The White Oak Reserve, which has replaced Master Distiller’s Reserve Solera Vatted, has a very high proportion of first fill American White Oak casks which create a deep, yet subtle profile, with creamy coconut and vanilla notes. The Distiller's Reserve is part of the Glenlivets triple cask series exemplifying the skills our makers have mastered with decades of experience.

The Glenlivet DISTILLER'S RESERVE Triple Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky gets its special sweet yet spicy taste from a maturation process that takes place in 3 different casks.Originally released as part of Glenlivet's Travel Retail market offering, the Triple Cask Matured Distiller's Reserve expression brings together whisky matured in three different types of cask. It is a 10 year old “Kanagawa (upland seascape)” single malt release with only 370 bottles ever released.
