The Glenlivet Caskmakers

The Glenlivet Caskmakers is a single malt expression aged in reconstructed casks, created by combining two casks to create a new type of barrel. The hybrid casks, which unite ex-Spanish Sherry and charred European oak barrels, have been developed by The Glenlivet in collaboration with master coopers in Jerez, Spain. “As we continue to celebrate our 200-year milestone, The Glenlivet Caskmakers embodies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of cask craftmanship in whisky making,” said Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet cask master. “This exceptional release, born from harnessing a complex new technique, not only honours our rich history but showcases our relentless drive towards innovation and excellence. Integrating this method of cask creation elevates the complexity of the whisky’s flavour profile and represents our dedication to constantly exciting whisky connoisseurs around the globe.” The resulting whisky reveals notes of ripe orchard fruits, fresh honey, warming spices and hints of charred pineapple.
