The Glenlivet Launches Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection
The Glenlivet has announced the addition of a new expression to its portfolio of single malt Scotch whiskies: The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection.
The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection has been finished in bespoke casks crafted from a combination of first-fill rum and bourbon barrels. These hand-selected barrels have been dismantled and reassembled by expert coopers into one bespoke cask.
The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection is described as having aromas of “orange, vanilla custard, caramel, coconut and zest of lemon,” with notes of “juicy apricot and peach, fresh apples, toffee-covered bananas and subtle cinnamon spice” on the palate, concluding with “a sweet and smooth finish with enduring notes of orange.”
The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection launches this month in the US at a suggested retail price of $99.95.
