Staying true to the pioneering spirit of its founder, George Smith, The Glenlivet has been on the quest of discovering and innovating since its inception in 1824. Two hundred years after its fruity, floral Speyside redefined conventions and established a heritage that continues to inspire, the distillery is still on the quest to explore the fresh and challenge the unknown, all while staying authentic along the way.

Two hundred years ago, George Smith founded The Glenlivet and redefined conventions at that time with the fruity, floral style of its Speyside.

This year, as The Glenlivet looks back at its illustrious 200-year history, it proudly unveils The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 200 Year Anniversary Edition, marking the first of an upcoming series of limited edition releases that will be introduced throughout the year.

Crafted by The Glenlivet’s team of makers in the spirit of breaking boundaries, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 200 Year Anniversary Edition is bottled at 43% ABV, presenting an extraordinary take on the iconic of single malt whisky. By fusing delightful honeycomb with zesty punch of orange, this new expression, bright and vibrant in gold, finds the sweet spot between sweet and fruity. It's engulfing on the palate, leaving behind a lasting, smooth vanilla finish it gets from its ageing in the American Oak casks. Whether it’s a breezy sunny evening or a cosy stay-in night, this is one you will keep coming back for.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 200 Year Anniversary Edition is available starting from RM423.

What makes The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 200 Year Anniversary Edition extra meaningful is its commemorative bottle designed by Studio Berdi. This Colombia-based team stood out from over 400 designs by indie artists worldwide in a crowdsourcing campaign by The Glenlivet. Its winning design drew inspiration from The Glenlivet’s ethos of “forever moving forwards”, resulting in an illustrative work that not only looks back to the brewery’s glorious past but also looks forward to the next bicentennial of excellence.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old 200 Year Anniversary Edition can be found at selected Wine & Spirits retails stores such as The Chamber, The Bottle Thirsty Spirits, Wine Warehouse, Magnum Wine & Spirits and WL Wine and Liquor, as well as selected AEON, MaxValu, Mercato, Ben’s Independent Grocer, Village Grocer and Jaya Grocer outlets, The Food Merchant Pavilion Bukit Jalil, and BSC Fine Foods.
