— David Othenin-Girard, K&L Spirits Buyer
Just landed! This exceptional barrel from a renowned Speyside distillery takes us back to a time when high-proof, sherry-matured single malt was available at accessible prices. Filled in 2006 into a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, this whisky spent 17 years aging before being bottled at cask strength—unchillfiltered and without added color.
K&L has had the privilege of bottling several standout Glenlivet casks from this era, and this release proudly continues that tradition. Available exclusively through K&L in California, this rare whisky typically commands prices at least $50 higher elsewhere in the global market. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience an exceptionally aged Glenlivet at an unbeatable value.

There was a time when we could sell 16-year-old Sherried Glenlivet from Signatory for $80. Then, for many years, a similarly aged bottle would easily cost over $200, and even 12-year-old stocks ran $140. Now, we’re back to a world where Signatory dominates both price and quality, offering high-caliber whisky at well below market rates. This exceptional Glenlivet, presented in the iconic Signatory decanter, is part of a notable run of 2006/2007 barrels that Signatory appears to have held onto for quite some time. We’re extremely lucky to have acquired a substantial stock of this remarkable cask. While some Glenlivets from this batch are ultra-clean and refreshing, others present a deeply complex, old-school character—this one definitely falls into the latter category.
The color is a rich burnt umber (1.7). On the nose, it’s dense and layered with notes of dried tobacco, dried plums, fruitcake, dark jam, and a roasty rancio undertone. The palate is unctuous and bold, brimming with jammy flavors and sweet caramel candies, accented by hints of old wood, tobacco, and mineral oils for a bit of sass. This is world-class whisky that truly deserves a higher price point—but here we are. We bought every available bottle in the country.
