On Tuesday, The Glenlivet unveiled the oldest whisky to be released in its 200-year history. According to a brand press release, only 100 bottles of the 55-year-old single malt will make it to market at a lofty $55,000.
This release marks the first installment in the Speyside distillery’s Eternal Collection, a new annual series. This particular expression was finished in a seasoned sherry cask, and all future releases in the collection will be drawn from a single cask and aged for one additional year. Each expression will also be accompanied by an original artform crafted by a new artist.
