The Glenlivet 33-Year-Old Cellar Collection, distilled in 1972, is a remarkable whisky that exemplifies the art of long-term maturation. Part of the distillery’s highly regarded Cellar Collection, this expression offers a rare opportunity to experience the depth and complexity that comes with over three decades of ageing. On the nose, it presents a captivating array of dried fruits—figs, apricots, and sultanas—beautifully complemented by honeyed oak, floral hints, and a touch of polished leather. The palate is rich and full-bodied, unveiling layers of toffee, spiced orange peel, and dark chocolate, balanced with roasted nuts and gentle cinnamon spice. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving a lingering impression of sweet oak, soft spices, and heather honey.

Bottled at 46.7% ABV, this Glenlivet perfectly balances the distillery’s signature fruit-forward character with the depth imparted by prolonged cask influence. A rare and highly sought-after piece of Speyside history, it appeals equally to collectors and connoisseurs. Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its intricacies, this whisky can also benefit from a drop of water to reveal its hidden nuances. The Glenlivet 33-Year-Old Cellar Collection is a true masterpiece, showcasing the legacy of one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries.

Glenlivet

A Classic Speyside

Glenlivet was the first Speyside in distillery to be granted a license after the passing of the excise act in 1823. Founded by George Smith, the distillery has become synonymous with a softer, gentler style of single malt and one of Scotland's best selling whiskies. Beyond the reliable core range that features a 12 year old, 15 year old, 18 year old and a number of non-age-statement cask finishes, Glenlivet is famous for the venerable old drams released under the "Cellar Collection" series.

The distillery was purchased by Pernod Ricard in 2001 and currently produces over 10 millions litres of new-make spirit a year. The team operate six stills and eight washbacks, installed as part of a renovation project that was completed in 2010.
