This is a bottle to treasure, and no doubt the recipient will think carefully which special event warrants opening and having a tipple of Scotch whisky history. With a global launch of only 150 bottles, The Glenlivet Winchester Collection 1967 brings together malts from a number of rare oak casks, the youngest of which was filled in December 1967 by former Master Distiller, Robert Arthur. The Glenlivet has partnered with award-winning British designer, Bethan Gray to create the bottle and case for Vintage 1967, ensuring it is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. This is the third launch in The Glenlivet Winchester Collection, which celebrates over 40 years of dedication to Scotch from Master Distiller Alan Winchester – and follows the release of Vintage 1966 in 2016 and Vintage 1964 in 2014, two of the most sought-after whiskies in the world.
The Glenlivet Winchester Collection Vintage 1967 retails at £20,000.
