THE GLENLIVET SMALL BATCH COLLECTION IS BACK – WITH THREE NEW EXCEPTIONAL AGED SINGLE MALTS
[London, United Kingdom] – [14th January 2026]– The Glenlivet, the definitive Speyside single malt whisky, announces the return of its Small Batch Collection with three new, exceptionally crafted, aged expressions. A testament to authentic whisky craftsmanship, the new collection invites whisky enthusiasts and collectors to delve deeper into the nuanced art of flavour, showcasing the remarkable diversity achieved when combining different casks.
This limited collection features the same three distinct aged statements as the inaugural Small Batch Collection – a 17 Year Old, a 19 Year Old, and a 20 Year Old – but showcases new and exclusive flavour profiles. Under the guardianship of The Glenlivet Cask Master, Kevin Balmforth, and his team, these meticulously crafted single malt whiskies dial up specific flavours while maintaining classic craft cues; each expression is cask strength, non-chilled filtered to preserve their purity and intensify the flavour profile.
At the heart of The Glenlivet Small Batch Collection is a masterful combination of hand-selected casks that shape each expression’s distinct character and are named accordingly. The Glenlivet 17 Year Old Wildflower Honey is exclusively matured in 1st fill American oak; The Glenlivet 19 Year Old Indulgent Chocolate is a rich tapestry of 1st fill American oak, 1st fill Sherry, and 2nd fill ex-Scotch barrels; and The Glenlivet 20 Year Old Orchard Fruitiness is a harmonious blend of 1st fill American oak, 2nd fill ex-Scotch, and 2nd fill American oak hogsheads.
“The Glenlivet Small Batch Collection is a celebration of discovery, inviting whisky appreciators and collectors to explore the extraordinary spectrum of flavours that can be achieved through the meticulous cask combination process. The 17 Year Old opens with bright apple and citrus notes that develop into a sweet, floral complexity. The 19 Year Old brings rich dark fruits and spices, culminating in a sweet, aromatic finish and finally, the 20 Year Old delivers luscious orchard fruits and warming spices, creating an incredibly syrupy and fruity experience. Together, this collection offers a masterful progression of flavour, allowing specific notes to shine while retaining the inherent character of The Glenlivet.”
Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Master
