The Glenlivet marks Dubai Duty Free milestone

French liquor group Pernod Ricard has introduced an “incredibly rare” The Glenlivet Dubai Duty Free 35th Anniversary edition whisky, to mark the leading travel retailer’s 35th birthday. Only 35 bottles have been made. 

This rich and characterful single malt Scotch, retailing at $10,000 per bottle, is exclusive to travellers visiting Dubai Duty Free stores.

This rare and luxurious bottling was matured in a hand-selected cask for over 35 years, carefully chosen for its rich character. The resulting liquid boasts complex layers of flavour, aroma, colour and texture, supported by The Glenlivet’s signature distillery character.

The unhurried maturation has produced a beautifully balanced whisky, teasing ripe sweet peach, pear and strawberry jam notes on the nose before gracing the palate with notes of luscious tropical sweet kiwi, honey dew melon and a hint of cinnamon with ginger biscuits. A long, sweet lingering finish with a touch of spice leaves a lasting taste experience, the company said.

Just 35 bottles of The Glenlivet Dubai Duty Free 35th Anniversary edition whisky are available to purchase now, exclusively from Dubai Duty Free.
