The Guardians
of The Glenlivet are asked to select its
next single malt whisky.
 The
Glenlivet single malt Scotch whisky, is
calling on its global community of
whisky fans, The Guardians of The
Glenlivet, to create a piece of history
by inviting them to select its next
limited edition release, The Glenlivet
Guardians’ Chapter.
Master Distiller Alan Winchester has
created three exciting new single malt whiskies
from the Glenlivet distillery’s
exceptional cask collection and
has classified the three whiskies by their taste:
Classic – 48.7% ABV – non chill filtered
Notes of honey and caramel are able to
be tasted due to the Spanish and
American oak casks
Exotic – 48.7% ABV – non chill filtered
A darker and deeper flavour is developed
from the use of sherry casks
Revival – 48.7% ABV – non chill filtered
The refill bourbon casks deliver hints
of vanilla, fresh fruit and crème brûlée
The three whiskies will be taken on a
worldwide tour and showcased at tasting
events in dozens of countries;
Australia, USA, UK, Canada, India, South Africa
and Japan to name but a few. Guardians
will come together to sample, savour and
select the expression they want to
become The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter
and share their passions with other
kindred whisky spirits.
A new, content-rich online space has
also been created exclusively for
Guardians, where they can cast their
vote for which expression becomes
Guardians’ Chapter. The site explores
the Classic, Exotic and Revival themes
in other areas of cultural appreciation
aside from whisky, such as art, design,
style and technology. In addition to
tasting notes with a twist, the hub will
include short films, photography and
interviews aimed to capture the
imagination of new and existing whisky
fans.
Following the final tasting event in
December, the Guardians’ votes will be
counted and the winning whisky will be
proclaimed "The Guardians’ Chapter”. A
limited run of 2000 9 litre cases will
be released globally from February 2014.
Nikki Burgess, Brand Director for The
Glenlivet, comments: "Choosing a Scotch
whisky is normally a privilege reserved
for a very select handful of experts
revered for their knowledge, passion and
experience. With The Glenlivet
Guardians’ Chapter, we wanted to
recognise and reward the knowledge,
passion and experience of our Guardians
and invite them to write the next
chapter in The Glenlivet’s history.
We’re excited to see which whisky our
Guardians choose and hope it brings
members – new and old – closer
together."
