THE GLENLIVET WINCHESTER COLLECTION VINTAGE 1966 🍾
The Vintage 1966 is the 2nd release in the Winchester Collection, a series of rare 50-Year-Old Scotch whiskies 🍾🍾from the single malt that started it all. It is the pinnacle of craftsmanship with every element - from the single malt itself to the bottle it is housed in - being the result of painstaking artistry by celebrated craftspeople from the British Isles.
Fans of sherry casked whiskies 🥃will be delighted to know the Vintage 1966 was aged entirely in a used sherry cask as opposed to a Bourbon hogshead cask that was used for the Vintage 1964. The resulting single malt is a remarkable liquid that layers the soft smooth notes of The Glenlivet with delicate spice – a teasing intermingling of cinnamon and liquorice – and offers an exceptionally long, smooth finish, with a pleasing hint of dryness.
The Vintage 1966 joins the Vintage 1964 to become one of the most sought after & exquisite whisky 🍾collections in the world. Global pricing of The Glenlivet Winchester Collection Vintage 1966 stands at approximately USD 25k
The Glenlivet Guardians are a global community of people who share the same love for whiskies 🥃from The Glenlivet, the single malt that started it all. The Malaysian 🇲🇾chapter was formed through a series of “taste and discover” events & is arguably the largest whisky 🥃community 👫👭👬in Malaysia 🇲🇾 with over 1k members.
