The Glenlivet 12 Year Jamaica Edition Rum Cask Finish Scotch Whisky 750mL

A vibrant and tropical twist on the classic Speyside single malt, The Glenlivet Jamaica Edition 12-Year is selectively finished in Jamaican rum casks, adding a playful layer of warmth and fruitiness to its elegant foundation. After 12 years maturing in American and European oak, this expression is transferred to casks that held Jamaican rum, infusing character, spice, and depth.
