A rare spot among Scottish distillers holds The Glenlivet. This famous distillery, which opened in 1824, is among the earliest to take advantage of “legitimate” whisky distillation, according to the royal approval of King George IV.
Ironically, this well used factoid in reviews kind of misses the original “spirit” of whisky making in Scotland, as it were, since the tradition was more about being rebellious up in the mountains (bootlegging) to avoid unfair taxation without representation.
But no matter. Glenlivet, one of the largest single-malt whisky producers, ships millions of cases each year worldwide, starting in Elgin (Scotland) and ending in Elgin (Australia), in Illinois.
Glenlivet’s Caribbean Reserve, which was introduced in 2020, is very inexpensive (ranging from thirty to forty US dollars most places). The distillery doesn’t offer much background about this new offering, so there isn’t much to explain here. It’s a no-age statement whisky that was partially finished in Caribbean rum casks. We don’t know from which distilleries in the Caribbean, and we don’t know the percentage breakdown of rum to bourbon (or virgin?) casks.
People who enjoy nerdy stuff at Whiskey Wash wondered why Glenlivet does not use 12-year old whisky. Some (or all) this release may be older than the ones who market and plan them.
