The Whisky Barrel releases their latest exclusive single cask bottling. 

Specialist online whisky shop, TheWhiskyBarrel.com, is proud to release an exclusive single cask malt whisky distilled at the Speyside distillery, Glenlivet.

In November 2017 TheWhiskyBarrel.com released a similar bottling as part of The Whisky Barrel 10^th Anniversary Celebrations which received fantastic customer feedback. In March 2018, following a visit to the warehouses of Signatory Vintage, TheWhiskyBarrel.com were delighted to find another cask of Glenlivet maturing in a first-fill sherry cask. Glenlivet 11 Year Old, 2007 vintage was then hand-picked for TheWhiskyBarrel.com.

Glenlivet Distillery sits in a remote glen in Ballindalloch, Banffshire. A fantastic new extension including an extra mashtun, eight washbacks and six stills was opened by the Prince of Wales in 2010.

Glenlivet 11 Year Old, 2007 has been matured in a first-fill sherry cask #900134 and has a lovely deep colour to it. This whisky is very similar to the previous Glenlivet released by TheWhiskyBarrel.com. It has a great level of complexity to it and a certain weight brought about by the sherry influence, but this is well balanced by the sweetness that follows.
