Embark on a vibrant, tropical journey with The Glenlivet 12 Year Jamaica Edition Rum Cask Selection. This innovative single malt Scotch whisky is the first release in a new series that brings the vividness of iconic destinations to life. Capturing the essence of the hidden paradise of Treasure Beach, Jamaica, this expression offers a sun-drenched twist on a Speyside classic.

What Makes It Special

This unique whisky takes the classic, smooth character of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old and selectively finishes a portion of the spirit in casks that previously held Jamaican Rum. This final maturation imparts vibrant tropical flavor notes, creating a fruity and exceptionally smooth finish that celebrates The Glenlivet’s signature Speyside style in a bold new way.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: An inviting bouquet of ripe, juicy pineapple and sweet mango, with a pleasant backdrop of classic Speyside pear and vanilla.
• Palate: A wonderfully smooth and sweet palate. Vibrant tropical flavor notes of coconut and juicy pineapple are beautifully balanced by a rich, velvety caramel and the underlying gentle spice of the malt.
• Finish: The finish is exceptionally smooth and fruity, with a lingering sweetness of caramel and a final, delightful whisper of tropical warmth.

How to Enjoy

Perfect for cocktails and summer sipping, its bright, fruity profile makes it an ideal base for creative, warm-weather cocktails or for simply enjoying over ice. Whether you're a collector or a fan of the brand, this bottle is a must-have addition to your collection.
