The Glenlivet Distillery is hard at work modernizing its brand while celebrating 200 years of craft. The packaging of its iconic Scotch whiskies has been refreshed, rolling out in a distinctly contemporary look from the start.

And that’s not all. The distillery is also pushing forward with cask experiments. The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection is a prime example: a triptych of age-statement whiskies that marries tradition with innovation.

Kevin Balmforth, Cask Master at The Glenlivet, explains that the series is all about what makes Scotch so special: the cask master’s craft.

'By honouring our heritage while continuing to push the boundaries of flavour with carefully selected casks, we’ve curated a collection that is a quality expression of Speyside whiskies.'

What is The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection?

The three whiskies in the series are:

The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection 14 Year Old

The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection 16 Year Old

The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection 19 Year Old

Three ages, three distinct flavor profiles

These whiskies don’t just differ in age—their maturation, and therefore their flavor, diverge as well. Below is a flavor description for each bottle.

The 14 Year Old is matured in American and European oak casks, offering notes of baked apple and bright citrus. The 16 Year Old is matured exclusively in American oak, delivering flavors of creamy toffee and ripe plum.

The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection 19 Year Old is the crown jewel of the series. Finished in Scottish oak casks, it gains extra depth with flavors of spice and a hint of stewed fruit.

Where can you buy The Glenlivet Cask Masters Collection?

This single malt Scotch whisky series is released exclusively for Global Travel Retail. You’ll find the whiskies at airports worldwide. Unfortunately, pricing per bottle has not been disclosed.
