As a groundbreaking entry in the distillery's experimental Beyond Speyside Series, this release marks the first time in two centuries that classic Glenlivet whisky is finished in French sweet wine and Provence Cru Classé barrels. Crafted in extraordinarily tall copper stills that yield a light, remarkably smooth spirit, this 12-year-old expression absorbs the elegant red fruit and floral notes of Southern France. The result is a wonderfully silky single malt that balances luscious white peach, creamy vanilla, and bright summer berries. It is an approachable, sun-drenched twist on a traditional favorite that feels completely fresh and captivating to sip.
