Glenlivet 12 Early 2000's Bottling

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old – Early 2000s Bottling – 750ml 43% ABV is a vintage presentation of one of Scotland's most recognisable Speyside single malt whiskies.

Distilled at The Glenlivet Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, this classic 12 Year Old expression showcases the distillery's signature elegant, fruity and approachable style. Matured in a combination of traditional European and American oak casks, the whisky offers delicate orchard fruits, creamy vanilla, honeyed malt and gentle oak spice.

Bottled at 43% ABV in the 750ml export format, this early 2000s release represents an older generation of Glenlivet packaging and production, predating several subsequent redesigns of the distillery's core range.

With its distinctive vintage presentation, classic Speyside character and older bottling era, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old is an appealing addition to a collection of historical Scotch whisky releases.
