Glenlivet Jamaican rum cask whisky

The Glenlivet Jamaican rum cask whisky is a line of single malt Scotch whiskies, with recent releases including the 12-Year-Old Jamaica Edition, Treasure Beach and a more general Caribbean Reserve expression.

These are created by finishing The Glenlivet's traditional Scotch in casks that previously held Jamaica rum, adding tropical notes like pineapple, coconut and banana to the signature smooth, fruity Scotch. 

Key characteristics

• Ages and expressions: The specific release is The Glenlivet 12-Year-Old Jamaica Edition, Treasure Beach, which is part of the new "Beyond Speyside" series. The broader "Caribbean Reserve" is also a rum cask finished expression. 
• Production: A 12-year-old Glenlivet Scotch is finished in casks that previously held Jamaican rum. 
• Flavour profile: The rum cask finishing adds tropical flavours. Expect notes of coconut, juicy pineapple and velvety caramel, with a fruity and smooth finish. The nose may have hints of pear, red apple and bananas in syrup. 
• ABV: The alcohol by volume is 40%. 
• Availability: The 12-Year-Old Jamaica Edition is available in select US retailers. 
• Serving suggestions: It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, such as a Banana Old Fashioned. Some suggest pairing it with a splash of coconut water for a unique experience.
