The single malt has been matured for at least 50 years in a mixture of American oak barrels, hogshead and butts, before being non-chill-filtered and bottled at a cask strength of 48% abv.

It is described as having ‘notes of apricot jam and sweet ripe peaches, and a hint of toasted almonds’ on the nose, and ‘fondant orange and milk chocolate flavors on the palate.

"The launch of Vintage 1967 is a momentous occasion for The Glenlivet, and a particularly proud one for me personally," said Alan Winchester.

"To have my name associated with one of the finest single malts that money can buy is an honor – what a fantastic way to celebrate more than 40 years in the Scotch whisky industry."
