Product details
This Jamaica Edition 12 Yr is a limited-release expression crafted in Scotland’s Speyside region, built upon a 12-year maturation in American and European oak before undergoing a finishing stage in authentic Jamaican rum casks. This carefully curated process introduces a bright, tropical character while retaining the signature elegance and finesse for which The Glenlivet is renowned. As the inaugural entry in a global destinations series, this release bridges Scotland’s time-honored tradition with Caribbean warmth, yielding an inviting package of richness and vitality.
Initially, the aroma invites you in with ripe pineapple, mango, banana, and coconut, accompanied by hints of green apple, vanilla cream, and soft citrus zest. On the palate, juicy tropical fruit melds with creamy toffee, coconut sweetness, caramel, and gentle spice, reminiscent of molasses warmth derived from the rum cask influence. The finish is clean and lingering, lightly sweet with a subtle oak spice and tempered warmth that complements the tropical fruit profile beautifully.
