The Glenlivet launches ‘Glenkindie’ in HK
The Glenlivet, the world’s No.1 single malt Scotch whisky, has launched The Glenlivet Glenkindie Single Cask Edition in Hong Kong.
Drawn from a single American bourbon oak cask picked for its exceptional quality from The Glenlivet inventory, The Glenlivet Glenkindie Single Cask Edition has been bottled after 14 years of maturation, at 62.1% cask strength and without chill filtration to offer the purest expression of The Glenlivet style. It is said to offer the closest experience possible of drinking a dram straight from the cask.
Just 168 bottles of The Glenkindie Single Cask Edition have been drawn from the cask.
Alan Winchester, The Glenlivet Master Distiller, comments: “I am honoured to present The Glenlivet Glenkindie Single Cask Edition to The Glenlivet fans in Hong Kong. Each addition to The Glenlivet Single Cask Editions range offers its own individual insight into the provenance, artisanal production techniques and smooth, floral, fruity house style of The Glenlivet. Bottled straight from the cask in which it has been matured, this unique combination of liquid, cask and age will never be replicated.
“Our founder, George Smith crafted the original single malt that set the standard for the quality and taste that has come to define the Speyside style of whisky, and I believe that he would have been proud of this truly rare single malt and its reflection on the craftsmanship in place at the distillery today.
“The Glenlivet Glenkindie Single Cask Edition will provide whisky fans with the opportunity to experience The Glenlivet in its purest form and learn about the heritage of the Speyside region through its unique taste profile, featuring notes of indulgent medley of fruity pears, sweet peaches and rich vanilla cream on the nose; luxuriously sweet flavours of red toffee apple and rich fudge, balanced with delicious soft ripe pears, sweet golden syrup, tangy lemon zest and rhubarb jam; and a soft, sweet and slightly dry finish.”
The Glenlivet Glenkindie Single Cask Edition is available next month at recommended retail price of HK$3,280 (US$421) at Waston’s Wine and liquor stores.
