Cadenhead Speyside-Glenlivet 27 Year Old

Cadenhead’s, Scotland’s oldest independent bottler founded in 1842, is known for releasing whisky with minimal intervention, allowing each cask to speak for itself. This 27-year-old Speyside-Glenlivet expression was distilled in 1997 and matured in a bourbon hogshead before being bottled in October 2024 at 40.2% ABV. Produced in limited quantities, it highlights a classic Speyside style, emphasizing fruit, malt, and balance over heavy oak or peat influence.
