The Glenlivet, a premium single malt whisky brand, is launching a limited edition of three varieties of "The Glenlivet Small Batch 2," crafted with refined artisanal techniques to enhance its taste and aroma.


Pernod Ricard Korea announced on April 20 that, following the debut of the "The Glenlivet Small Batch 1" collection last year, it is releasing the new "The Glenlivet Small Batch 2" collection, which further maximizes flavor and aroma. This collection, embodying The Glenlivet's 200-year heritage and continuous innovation, is produced in a limited number of batches, offering exceptional rarity.


This Small Batch collection features cask strength products that are not diluted with water, allowing enthusiasts to experience the pure essence of the whisky. In addition, the collection uses a non-chill-filtering process, which preserves the whisky's original rich flavor and purity by avoiding the typical cold filtration step.


The Glenlivet Small Batch collection available in Korea includes three expressions aged 17, 19, and 20 years. "The Glenlivet 17 Year Small Batch," known for its alluring wildflower honey sweetness, is matured exclusively in a first-fill American oak barrel to amplify its flavor. It is characterized by a bright fruit aroma, followed by the sweetness of butter cookies and subtle wildflower notes, culminating in a smooth, gentle finish.


"The Glenlivet 19 Year Small Batch," notable for its chocolatey richness, is crafted through a blend of three types of casks: first-fill American oak barrels, first-fill sherry butts, and second-fill ex-Scotch barrels. In particular, the addition of sherry casks—highly prized by Korean whisky enthusiasts—elevates the collection with blackberry tartness, the depth of chocolate and nut pies, and the gentle warmth of cloves.



"The Glenlivet 20 Year Small Batch," with its explosive freshness, brings out the orchard fruit flavors through a combination of first-fill American oak barrels, second-fill ex-Scotch barrels, and second-fill American oak hogsheads. It delivers the crisp juice of ripe pears, the vibrant aroma of red apples, and the delicate sweetness of cherries—all contributing to a radiant and fruity character.
