Glenlivet (Minmore) 14 Year Old Cadenhead's Single Cask

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Cadenhead's 70cl / 46%

An interesting independent bottling of Glenlivet, labelled by Cadenhead's as "Glenlivet (Minmore)" to distinguish it from the official Glenlivet releases. Minmore was one of several alternative names historically used by independent bottlers following trademark restrictions surrounding the Glenlivet name.

Although this release carries neither a vintage nor a bottling date, the presentation and packaging suggest it was most likely bottled during the 2000s as part of Cadenhead's well-regarded single cask range. The rear label states that the whisky was matured in a single cask, although no individual cask number or outturn is provided.

Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or colouring, this whisky showcases a classic Speyside character with notes of orchard fruits, honey, vanilla, citrus peel, gentle malt sweetness and soft oak spice. Cadenhead's philosophy of minimal intervention allows the distillery's spirit to take centre stage, making these bottlings highly regarded.

With its understated presentation, traditional style and increasingly limited availability, this is an appealing Glenlivet from Scotland's oldest independent bottler and a fine example of Cadenhead's commitment to showcasing individual casks.
