Glenlivet 1959 Cellar Collection
Well-known as the oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, for many years ‘Glenlivet’ was a byword for quality, with many single malts using the Glenlivet suffix in attempt to reap the benefits of associating themselves with the Banffshire distillery. Indeed, owners Pernod Ricard now put a heavy focus on the brand being ‘The Glenlivet’, encouraging their consumers not to accept any imitations. Glenlivet is in a long-running battle with Glenfiddich for the title of best-selling single malt, with both now selling over a million cases a year.
This is part of the Glenlivet Cellar Collection, selected from casks specially set aside by distillery managers from the wider warehouses, and placed for safekeeping in the Glenlivet cellar. The casks for this release were chosen by Jim Cryle, distillery manager there in th 1990s.
This whisky was distilled in 1959 and bottled in 2001.
One of 400 bottles.
