The Glenlivet
Kymah Single Cask Limited Edition
 The
Glenlivet has
unveiled the latest of its
much-anticipated, limited edition Single
Cask Editions – The Glenlivet Kymah.
This travel retail exclusive edition is limited to 528
hand written and individually numbered
bottles and is launching exclusively
with Heinemann Duty Free at Frankfurt
airport. The Glenlivet Kymah has been
hand-selected by co-owner Claus
Heinemann and will be the main focus of
a The Glenlivet portfolio activation
running across Frankfurt airport during
May 2014. Also highlighted will be two
other Travel Retail exclusive
expressions from The Glenlivet – Master
Distiller’s Reserve and the
newly-launched,
Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso.
Each expression in the Single Cask
Editions range is non-chill filtered and
offers a unique take on The Glenlivet’s
flawless and complex character. Sourced
from a single cask, each bottle is
extremely limited and showcases The
Glenlivet Distillery’s commitment to
craft production.
The Glenlivet Kymah Single Cask Edition
takes its name from the Kymah Burn, a
tributary of the River Livet, which
evokes the natural beauty of the
celebrated Speyside region. It is a
rare, limited edition whisky that has
been aged in a single ex-sherry butt for
16 years, and is bottled at 60.1% ABV.
The striking brand spaces in the
Heinemann shops at Frankfurt airport
have been designed to mirror The
Glenlivet’s contemporary style. As well
as being introduced to the Guardians of
The Glenlivet - the brand’s global
community of consumers - travellers
passing through Frankfurt B-East will be
invited to relax and play a game of pool
on a custom-built The Glenlivet table.
Further visibility is achieved via
multiple sampling points and wooden and
glass product glorifiers reinforcing The
Glenlivet’s story and handcrafted
credentials, while highlighting its
unique positioning as the single malt
that started it all. In Frankfurt B-Schengen
eye-catching sensory pods will bring The
Glenlivet’s tasting notes to life,
further encouraging consumers to
interact with the brand.
Jessica Spence Senior Consumer and
Digital Marketing Manager, Pernod Ricard
Travel Retail Europe, comments "We are
very passionate about our Single Cask
Editions range; each whisky highlights
the subtle, complex and elegant style
synonymous with The Glenlivet. Kymah’s
journey is unique as it began high on
the slopes of Carn na Glascoill in the
Ladder Hills. We are very happy to have
been able to offer Heinemann Duty Free,
one of our key customers, the
opportunity to select such a rare
expression. What makes this activation
even more exciting is that it’s
presented alongside two other Travel
Retail exclusives from The Glenlivet. We
really look forward to seeing
travellers’ and whisky enthusiasts’
responses to such a highly prized
expression."
Claus Heinemann, co-owner of Gebr.
Heinemann, said "We are delighted to
have partnered with Pernod Ricard Travel
Retail Europe in the creation of The
Glenlivet Kymah Single Cask Edition. As
a loyal fan of The Glenlivet myself, I
was honoured to be invited to The
Glenlivet Distillery in 2014 to
hand-select the single cask in which The
Glenlivet Kymah was matured. We are very
excited to unveil this rare and
exceptional whisky as a Heinemann
exclusive in our Frankfurt stores."
The Glenlivet Kymah Single Cask Edition
70cl bottle retails at 249€.

|
Cask No. 16807,
Non Chill-Filtered, 60.1% ABV, 16
Years Old, Bottled 18/02/2014
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: A rich harmony of the
syrupy, sweetness of moist, juicy raisin
and toffee and the warm, subtle spice of
ginger.
Taste:
Beginning with a delightfully sweet,
soft toffee that echoes the nose then
rounding off to a medley of fruity
orange marmalade, cinnamon and rich dark
chocolate.
Finish: Long and sweet with a
lingering, delicate spice.
