Glenlivet Alpha Bottled 2013 70cl / 50%

A bottle of The Glenlivet Alpha. This opaque black bottle only displays the information that is required by law (size and ABV), other details were released via the Glenlivet website a few weeks after the bottle went on sale.

Master Distiller Alan Winchester explains the reasons for this secrecy:

“Flavour is a multi-sensory experience: one that combines the subtleties of sight and sensation in the mouth, in addition to taste and smell. By withholding information on the casks used to create The Glenlivet Alpha and encouraging people to use their senses, I hope they will gain a greater appreciation of its particular flavour, and expand their understanding of the great complexity and depth of our unique single malt whisky. I can’t wait to hear people’s reactions.”
