Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
Product Description
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is a new rum barrel finished single malt Scotch, which combines the heritage of Scotch whisky with the flavour and soul of the Caribbean. The founder, George Smith, instilled a culture of creativity within the brand DNA and with The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve, they have once again challenged the status quo. At The Glenlivet they are always looking at new ways to explore different flavours to break old whisky conventions.
Highlights
