Tasting notes

Crafted in partnership with Michael Hansmeyer, the 55 Year Old whisky is encased within a striking sculpture that perfectly compliments the spherical decanter. Hansmeyer’s sculpture is a tribute to the rugged Scottish landscape surrounding the Distillery and captures the flowing essence of the River Livet in the Spey Valley. A gentle sweetness of poached pears is harmonised with the heady citrus notes of ripe, sun-drenched Seville oranges whilst a deeper note of sticky dates ground the trio. These are matched in the deep warmth of toasted hazelnut and the indulgent richness of dark chocolate, finishing with the spiced warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg. Deep and warming flavours of homemade blackcurrant jam, vanilla fudge, and dark chocolate, balanced with zesty orange and crystallised ginger before closing with a touch of warming clove spice. Incredibly long, the finish is distinct and complex, evolving through fruit and spices to culminate with a subtle warming dry and spicy finish.

About this whisky

The Glenlivet stands as one of Scotland's most prestigious single malt whisky producers, rooted in the heart of Speyside. Founded in 1824, the distillery pioneered the legal production of Highland whisky and has maintained its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship for nearly two centuries. Positioned in one of the world's finest whisky regions, Glenlivet benefits from Speyside's pure water sources and cool climate, which have become hallmarks of the region's refined character.

This expression from The Eternal Collection represents the pinnacle of Glenlivet's expertise, matured for 55 years in carefully selected casks. At 42.2% ABV, it embodies the distillery's signature elegance, a hallmark of Speyside single malt whisky. The extended aging process yields a spirit of remarkable depth and complexity, ideal for the discerning collector and those seeking a transcendent whisky experience. This is a whisky suited for quiet contemplation, paired with fine cigars, or as the centerpiece of an intimate gathering in a private villa or yacht's salon.
