The Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve

Captain’s Reserve is a bold twist on classic Speyside whisky. It’s finished in hand-selected French Cognac casks, giving it extra richness and deep fruity notes. Inspired by Captain William Smith Grant, a descendant of The Glenlivet’s founder, this expression celebrates heritage and innovation in every drop.

The nose is fragrant and full. You’ll find aromas of dried apricot, sweet raisin, and ripe plums with a gentle hint of cinnamon. On the palate, the whisky is rich and creamy. Notes of honey, stewed fruits, and spiced orange unfold smoothly.

The Cognac cask finish brings warmth and complexity, layering in hints of brown sugar and toasted almonds. It has a silky, full-bodied texture that coats the mouth with mellow sweetness. Each sip feels generous and well-balanced. The finish is long, fruity, and lightly spiced, with lingering notes of juicy sultanas and soft oak.

This is not your everyday Glenlivet. The Cognac influence adds a new dimension to the brand’s smooth Speyside character. It’s ideal for slow sipping, special moments, or whenever you want something just a little extra indulgent.

Serve it neat to explore the layers of fruit and spice, or add a drop of water to open up its aroma. The Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve stands out in any collection with its elegant bottle and golden hue. It’s a confident, expressive single malt that blends Scottish precision with a touch of French flair.
