{"product_id":"the-glenlivet-captain-s-reserve","title":"The Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest addition to the collection is the Captain’s Reserve, named for Captain William (Bill) Smith Grant, none other than George Smith’s great grandson. The good Captain served in France during World War 1, so who better to dedicate the distillery’s first ever Cognac finished whisky to?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bold experiment resulting in what’s claimed to be the first major single malt finished in Cognac casks, the Captain’s Reserve features layer upon layer of complexity and flavour that only maturation in multiple types of casks can create.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatured in a mixture of American Oak ex-Bourbon casks, first fill Sherry casks, and then ex-Cognac casks, the Captain’s Reserve is full of flavour – the light and fruity Glenlivet spirit combining honey and spicy notes with mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate dipped raisins coming through in spades thanks to more than six months in ex-Cognac casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled with no age statement at an easy drinking 40%, this is a seriously sessionable whisky that isn’t going to last long on your whisky shelf (it hasn’t on ours…) and you won’t see the Captain’s Reserve on shelves locally until 2020, so we’d suggest doubling up to keep you going until then.
