A demand for new flavour profiles and finishes
Single Malt consumers are increasingly adventurous, seeking new flavour profiles and finishes. Meanwhile, research shows that the global consumption of Cognac is expected to increase by some 2m cases by 2021. Captain's Reserve capitalises on this trend by combining the raisin-rich intense taste of Cognac with the signature citrus notes and creamy smoothness of The Glenlivet.
Captain's Reserve offers consumers the opportunity to broaden their Single Malt Scotch repertoire. The new flavour and taste experience also encourages new consumers to explore the thriving Single Malt Scotch category, which is one of the fastest growing spirits categories globally, and is expected to continue its growth at +6%
This new expression, which will sit as part of The Glenlivet range, is a tribute to Captain William Smith Grant, great-grandson of George Smith, founder of The Glenlivet. The Captain not only fought in the First World War in France, but later went on to fight for The Glenlivet, guiding the brand through the difficult Prohibition years and leading the Single Malt Scotch whisky revival in the UK and US.
The Glenlivet Captain Reserve Tasting notes:
NOSE: Bursting with sweet and fruity aromas. Rich in honey and apricot jam, with notes of sweet cinnamon bread and a subtle sensation of spicy liquorice.
TASTE: Succulent flavours of mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate-dipped raisins.
FINISH: Incredibly smooth and luscious.
