Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter A Worthy Scotch Of The People

2014-02-12_22-08-09If membership has its privileges, then the loyal fan base of Glenlivet Distillery, known as the Guardians of the Glenlivet, are a lucky bunch indeed for helping one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland produce its next limited release. Known as Guardians’ Chapter, the backstory on this new Scotch is pretty slick.

Glenlivet invited fans of the brand across 37 different countries to take part in the creation of this new single malt expression. They had the chance to savor choices distilled by the distillery manager, as well as accessing additional information on the Exotic, Revival and Classic choices on the distillery’s website. The one which was selected ultimately was Exotic.

What has now evolved into the Guardians’ Chapter release was created using a mixture of casks including oak barrels with the addition of whisky from ex-sherry butts. Tasting notes from the distillery for this bottling indicate it will display fruity notes and an addition of spicy notes, all wrapped up in a spirt that has a dark, intense color.

There is no age statement mentioned for the new Glenlivet release, but it is known it was bottled at 48.7 percent ABV and will be available next month for around $85 each.
