The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Sherry Butt Single Cask 2018 Edition

Perhaps our favorite Glenlivet ever, this gorgeous dram is a flavor masterpiece of Single Malt engineering.

George Smith was running an illegal still on the estate of the Duke of Gordon in the wee early 1800’s — who he supplied with the occasional dram. The Duke sponsored legislation in 1823 that made whiskey distilling legal in the UK, it just so happens that George Smith was the first one granted a license.

Today Glenlivet is one of the “Big Three” Single Malt producers. Their Whiskies are Speyside in character and the water for the mash comes famously from “Josie’s Well” nearby. Glenlivet produces a wide variety of Single Malt agings and cask combinations, with the remaining spirit an indispensable component in some of the most famous blends.

The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Sherry Butt Single Cask Edition is like a a beautiful fractal design — mathematical precision and simplicity left alone to do it’s scientific alchemy. It is Glenlivet’s famous Speyside Single Malt placed into a 500-liter Sherry butt for fourteen years. The casks are not married or blended. They are poured directly into bottles at cask strength without chill-filtering or artificial coloring and the individual cask number is written on the bottle. That’s it… a rare and beautiful simplicity. Pure engineered artistry.

If you have not yet guessed, we like this dram a LOT. Buy as many as you can.
