NÀDURRA LEADS THE WAY AS THE GLENLIVET GOLD RUSH CONTINUES
The Glenlivet, the world’s no.2 single malt whisky, is celebrating after The Glenlivet Nàdurra scooped a trophy and two gold medals in the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) and the International Spirit Challenge (ISC).
The Glenlivet Nàdurra 16 Year Old expression won the prestigious ISC trophy for ‘Scotch Malt Whisky 20 Years and Under’ and a gold medal at the IWSC. The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso, which was recently launched to great acclaim from whisky experts, also received a gold medal at the IWSC.
There was further success for the pioneering brand as The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve and The Glenlivet Archive 21 Year Old each won gold medals at the IWSC while The Glenlivet XXV, The Glenlivet 18 Year Old and The Glenlivet 12 Year Old all received gold medals at the ISC.
Nikki Burgess, International Brand Director for The Glenlivet, said: “The recent success for The Glenlivet is a testament to our Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, and his expert team who are responsible for the outstanding quality and complex flavour profile of The Glenlivet. In recent years, we have seen a rise in the popularity of artisanal whiskies such as The Glenlivet Nàdurra, which is crafted in small batches, so it’s great to see the style being recognised by whisky experts and fans alike.”
The Glenlivet was also recognised for its outstanding innovation in marketing with the brand receiving the ‘Best Integrated Campaign’ accolade at the ISC for The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter, which called on its global community of consumers, The Guardians of The Glenlivet, to select its next limited edition release.
