Glenlivet 1983 20 Year Old Cellar Collection – French Oak Finish, 46% ABV, 70cl

A refined and increasingly hard-to-find official Glenlivet release, this 1983 vintage 20 Year Old was specially selected for the Cellar Collection and bottled in 2003. Chosen by Master Distiller Jim Cryle, who hand-signed the bottle, it spent approximately 20 years maturing before a finishing period in French oak. Presented in great condition with its striking original oak presentation case, this is a strong collector’s bottle with both rarity and display appeal.
