The Glenlivet Marks 200 Years with Limited Edition 12-Year-Old Whisky
This year, The Glenlivet commemorates its monumental 200th anniversary, embarking on a journey that honors its storied past while boldly stepping into the future. The festivities begin with the unveiling of The Glenlivet 200 Year Anniversary Limited Edition 12 Years Old.
This special edition whisky is aged in 100% first-fill American oak casks, offering a rich tapestry of flavors. The brand’s tasting notes reveal a palate of ripe, juicy pear, coconut shavings, and creamy vanilla, beautifully entwined with the scents of fresh tangerines, pineapple slices, and luxurious crème caramel.
Crowdsourced Artistry
The packaging of the 12 Years Old boasts a unique artwork, born from a global crowdsourcing campaign. This initiative sought to find art that embodies The Glenlivet’s philosophy of ‘forever moving forwards‘. The winning design, a masterpiece from Studio Berdi of Colombia, is showcased above.
A Visionary Legacy and an Invitation to Celebrate
Jayne Murphy, Marketing Director at Chivas Brothers, Malts, reflects on this significant milestone: “This year marks a crucial anniversary for The Glenlivet as we both honor our roots and set our sights on the next 200 years.

Our commitment to innovation continues as we shape the future of single malt whisky, setting new, unparalleled standards of excellence. We warmly invite everyone to join in our celebrations with the exclusive 12-Year-Old limited edition. Here’s to the next 200 years of The Glenlivet!”
