Experience Timeless Elegance: Glenlivet 18 Year Old & Leather Wallet Bundle
Step into the world of refined luxury with our exclusive bundle—Glenlivet 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700 ml) accompanied by a sleek Glenlivet Wallet Card Holder. Expertly crafted, this pairing celebrates heritage, elegance, and mindful craftsmanship.
Product History & Craftsmanship
Established in 1824 in Speyside by George Smith, The Glenlivet distillery is the oldest legal distillery in Scotland’s Highlands, renowned for pioneering the single malt category and now producing some 6 million bottles annually. The Glenlivet 18 is matured gracefully in a blend of American oak barrels and ex‑sherry casks, imparting its character-rich, balanced profile. The Wallet Card Holder—made from premium leather with an embossed Glenlivet logo—is the perfect embodiment of this legacy, ideal for whisky aficionados who appreciate both utility and brand prestige.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Elegant layers of ripe orchard fruits, citrus zest, winter spice, dried apricot, honey-toned vanilla, and subtle oak. Some reviews also highlight fresh honey, sherry influence, cinnamon, pepper, and warming caramel.
Palate: Silky and refined—expect rich caramelised apples and pears, creamy vanilla, baking spices (nutmeg, toffee), gentle malt sweetness, and a hint of dried fruit from sherry casks.
Finish: Long, warming, and gently lingering oak, orchard fruit notes, spice and a whisper of ginger or dried apples—with a polished, elegant fade.
