The Glenlivet RARE CASK Small Batch No. 9378/018 40% Vol. 1l in Giftbox

The Glenlivet RARE CASK Small Batch No. 9378/018 is a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey that was originally developed for the international travel retail market and is released in individually numbered small batches. For this bottling, The Glenlivet employs a triple-cask maturation process, in which whiskies from different types of casks are blended together. American white oak barrels, traditional oak barrels, and ex-sherry casks are used, with a particularly high proportion of selected first-fill ex-sherry casks significantly shaping the Rare Cask’s style. This lends the distillery’s inherently fruity character additional depth, spice, and cask complexity. The Rare Cask does not carry an age statement. The Small Batch No. 9378/018 is bottled at the classic 40% alcohol by volume in a generous 1-liter bottle.

The Glenlivet Distillery is one of Speyside’s most historic distilleries and traces its origins to George Smith, who received a license to produce whisky in 1824. Within the Triple Cask series, the Rare Cask represents a particularly sherry-forward interpretation of the classic Glenlivet style. Since May 2019, this variant has been released in uniquely numbered small batches, allowing individual batches such as No. 9378/018 to be clearly identified. The combination of various European and American oak casks with a high proportion of first-fill sherry casks is its key distinguishing feature. The 1-liter travel-retail bottling with a gift box is aimed at both enthusiasts of fruity and spicy Speyside whiskies and collectors of special Glenlivet small-batch releases.
