The Glenlivet 55 Year Old

The Glenlivet 55-Year-Old is an extraordinary pinnacle of Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, representing over five decades of unparalleled maturation from the esteemed Glenlivet distillery, part of Pernod Ricard in Scotland. This scarce version embodies a generation-long legacy of liquid gold. It is a tribute to the lasting artistry and immense patience required to create great Scotch Whiskey.

Michael Hansmeyer's spectacular, custom-designed sculpture completes this extraordinary 55-year journey by perfectly complementing the whiskey's spherical decanter. Hansmeyer's artistic creation beautifully captures the untamed Scottish landscape surrounding the Distillery. It eloquently captures the flowing essence of the River Livet in the Spey Valley, marrying heritage with contemporary design.

This 55-year-old Glenlivet has 42.2% alcohol by volume (ABV), providing a powerful, warming, and complex experience. It is best savored neat, allowing its intricate layers to unfold.

Aroma: A gentle sweetness of poached pears is harmonized with the heady citrus notes of ripe, sun-drenched Seville oranges, whilst a deeper note of sticky dates grounds the trio. These are matched by the deep warmth of toasted hazelnut and the indulgent richness of dark chocolate, finishing with the spiced warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: Deep and warming flavors of homemade blackcurrant jam, vanilla fudge, and dark chocolate, balanced with zesty orange and crystallized ginger before closing with a touch of warming clove spice.

Finish: Incredibly long, the finish is complex and distinct, evolving through fruit and spices to culminate with a subtle, dry, warming, and spicy finish.
