2025 marks the release of an extraordinary whisky—The Glenlivet 40 Year Old, unveiled in an exclusive, intimate tasting at The Whisky Shop. Hosted by The Glenlivet Cask Master, Kevin Balmforth, this marks the oldest permanent expression to ever be released from the Speyside distillery.
A Glimpse into the Legacy
As the newest addition to The Glenlivet’s prestigious portfolio, this 40-year-old single malt whisky has been meticulously matured in specially crafted casks, seasoned with a distinctive blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries. This unique maturation process imparts an extraordinary depth of flavour, making it a true treasure for whisky enthusiasts.
On the palate, The Glenlivet 40 Year Old reveals an impressive symphony of flavours: the richness of plums, the warmth of charred orange, the sweetness of cherries and honey, balanced with hints of warming spice and red apples. The finish is nothing short of spectacular—long, lingering, and lusciously sweet, offering a truly memorable drinking experience.
Crafted to Perfection
Produced in the heart of Speyside, this whisky has spent four decades developing its complexities. Bottled at cask strength (46.9% ABV), the whisky has spent its maturation period in oak casks before being finished in the sherry casks that contribute to its exceptional colouring and flavour profile.
A Collector’s Dream
The packaging of The Glenlivet 40 Year Old mirrors the elegance of the liquid inside. Crafted with precision and design, this bottle is one to be cherished by connoisseurs and collectors alike.
This exquisite bottle is available exclusively at The Whisky Shop for an RRP of €5,500.
