The oldest permanent expression from our distillery to date – The Glenlivet 40 Year Old. Finished in custom casks seasoned with a bespoke blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherries. An impressive depth of flavour with rich notes of poached plums and charred orange, dark cherries, warming spice and braised red apples. The finish is rewardingly long and sweet.

TASTING NOTES

Carefully finished in custom casks seasoned with a bespoke blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherries.

Rich and fruity with notes of homemade strawberry jam and raisins. Luscious dark cherries are complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of sweet toasted oak.

Sweet layers of poached plums and charred orange progress to yet deeper notes of dark chocolate, braised red apples and sweet liquorice.

Long, sweet and rich with warming spice.

“The Glenlivet 40 Year Old represents more than four decades of dedication and craftsmanship from our team. It’s thanks to the efforts and foresight of my predecessors who laid down the foundation of this whisky 40 years ago that we’re able to showcase the trailblazing spirit of The Glenlivet with the introduction of such a special and highly aged permanent expression after such a monumental year.”
