The Glenlivet Fusion Cask Selection is a Speyside single malt that finishes a portion of the whisky in casks rebuilt from first-fill rum and bourbon barrels, bottled at 40% ABV.
The Glenlivet is one of Scotland's best known Speyside distilleries, and this expression pairs its fruity house style with the sweetness of the fusion casks.
The distillery dismantles hand-selected first-fill rum and bourbon barrels and reassembles them into bespoke casks. A selected portion of the whisky finishes in those casks before it is blended.
