Description

The Glenlivet Alpha was released in 2013 as a mysterious limited edition expression, presented in an opaque black bottle without any initial information on age, cask type, or tasting notes. This marketing strategy aimed to challenge consumers to develop their own perceptions of the whisky. The details were later revealed by Master Distiller Alan Winchester. It was released in 15 global markets with 3,350 bottles worldwide.
