Around this time of year, we’re prone to something we’ve termed ‘gift paralysis.’ It’s the state of desperation when you’re so keen to get your loved ones something tailor-made for them that you fall into a pit of overthinking and cannot pull the trigger on that perfect foodie present. But there’s one gift that food and drink connoisseurs can all agree on: a really excellent whisky.
The Glenlivet is the epitome of luxury, and gifting it to someone special always hits the mark. Whether that person on your list is a connoisseur with an intimidatingly well-stocked drinks cabinet or a scotch newb looking to add the liquor to their rotation, The Glenlivet is an artfully crafted whisky that will be savoured long after the decorations disappear.
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is one of the world’s most popular malt whiskies. Golden in colour, this signature style of single malt scotch whisky is matured in traditional oak, followed by American oak casks, yielding rich notes of vanilla. Exceptionally smooth and well-balanced, the flavours and character of this scotch come from the mineral-rich water from Josie’s Well and the specific copper stills used.
Whether you enjoy it on the rocks, neat or shaken up in a cocktail — The Glenlivet 12 Year Old stands up really well to coffee and creamier concoctions — is up to the imbiber.
If you're looking for a more intense and aged expression, try The Glenlivet 14 Year Old, aged for 14 years in sherry and bourbon casks and finished in cognac casks. The sweet and fruity nose is followed by flavours of poached pear, which work well on its own or in a classic old fashioned or whisky sour.
For a total treat, for you or that special someone on your list, splurge for The Glenlivet 21 or 25 Year Old. The pair of smooth, golden-coloured drams are packed with flavour. Gift them, save them or sip them — whatever you choose to do with The Glenlivet, it's guaranteed to elevate your bar cart this season.
