The Glenlivet, the definitive Speyside single malt, announces the launch of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition, Treasure Beach. This is the first release in the ‘Beyond Speyside’ series, which captures the essence of distinctive destinations around the world. This innovative expression combines the signature smoothness of The Glenlivet with the vibrant, sun-soaked flavours of Jamaica, offering whisky enthusiasts a unique and adventurous tasting experience.
Inspired by Treasure Beach, a hidden gem on Jamaica’s south coast, this 12 Year Old single malt scotch whisky is selectively finished in casks that previously held Jamaica Rum, imparting tropical flavour notes of coconut, juicy pineapple, and velvety caramel for a fruity and smooth finish. These qualities authentically encapsulate the vibrancy and warmth of Jamaica’s beautiful coastline, creating a truly distinctive whisky experience.
“We’re constantly looking for ways to push boundaries in single malts,” says Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Expert. “The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition, Treasure Beach, demonstrates our commitment to innovation and giving whisky drinkers new flavour experiences. By embracing distinctive cask finishes, we’re offering whisky lovers a truly unique and memorable experience, taking The Glenlivet from Speyside to the shores of Jamaica.”
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition, Treasure Beach, is presented in a bold and modern bottle and carton design that reflects the vibrant spirit of Jamaica. The release will be available exclusively in the US at select retailers for a retail price of $54.99.
