The Glenlivet Launches Ultra-Exclusive $25,000 Scotch

Only 150 bottles of the premium whisky will be produced.

The latest expression from The Glenlivet Winchester Collection celebrates 40 years of expert scotch making from Master Distiller Alan Winchester in an ultra-exclusive package.

The Glenlivet Winchester Collection Vintage 1967, valued at $25,000, will be limited to just 150 examples. Each contains a masterfully-crafted blend of aged single malts, the youngest of which is dated 1967. 

The cask-strength whisky was matured for 50 years to develop an extraordinarily robust nose and flavor.  

Here are the official tasting notes: 

The whisky boasts a rich and fruity nose, notes of apricot jam and sweet ripe peaches, and a hint of toasted almonds.

The smooth taste continues with fondant orange and milk chocolate flavors, velvety texture and a long, and a luxuriously sweet finish.

A unique, hand-blown glass bottle was conceived by award-winning British designer Bethan Gray, who used the rolling Scottish hills that surround The Glenlivet distillery as inspiration for the elegant Dhow ship-shaped pattern. 

Each is elegantly presented in a birds-eye maple case embellished with delicate copper and mother-of-pearl inlays. 

“The launch of Vintage 1967 is a momentous occasion for The Glenlivet, and a particularly proud one for me personally,” says Winchester. 

“To have my name associated with one of the finest single malts that money can buy is an honor—what a fantastic way to celebrate more than 40 years in the Scotch whisky industry.”

We’ll drink to that.
