The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Selection Cask - Item Code: 07928
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Selection Cask opens with a smooth, inviting palate that feels right at home during relaxed evenings or celebratory gatherings. With an ABV of 40%, this single malt Scotch whisky is crafted in Scotland, where it undergoes a unique finishing process in both rum and bourbon casks. This dual maturation imparts a distinct character, blending the classic Speyside elegance of The Glenlivet with vibrant influences from the Caribbean and American oak.
On the nose and palate, you’ll find layers of ripe tropical fruit, vanilla sweetness, toasted coconut, and gentle spice. Hints of caramelized banana mingle with subtle oak undertones for a balanced complexity. When paired with grilled pork or aged cheddar, the whisky’s fruity notes complement the savory richness of pork while its creamy texture enhances the sharpness of mature cheese. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking to elevate their food pairing experiences with nuanced flavors from both worlds.
Producer Information: The Glenlivet Distillery
The Glenlivet Distillery is located in the Speyside region of Scotland, specifically near Ballindalloch in Moray. Founded in 1824 by George Smith, The Glenlivet was one of the first legal distilleries in the area following the Excise Act, which encouraged legal whisky production. The distillery is known for its traditional methods, including copper pot stills and oak cask maturation, which contribute to its signature smooth and fruity single malt Scotch whisky profile. The pure water sourced from Josie’s Well and a slow distillation process are central to their approach, ensuring consistency and quality across each batch.
Beyond their flagship single malt expressions such as The Glenlivet 12 Year Old, the distillery offers a diverse portfolio that includes older age statements like 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve and 18 Year Old as well as limited edition releases. They have also experimented with cask finishes using American oak, sherry casks, and rum barrels to create unique flavor profiles within their range. In addition to classic single malts, The Glenlivet has introduced non-age statement whiskies such as Founder’s Reserve and Nadurra series that appeal to both new enthusiasts and seasoned collectors. Their innovation extends into travel retail exclusives and small-batch bottlings that highlight different aspects of Speyside terroir while maintaining a commitment to heritage-driven craftsmanship.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
