The Glenlivet Cipher is being released in global markets as part of an interactive experience designed to encourage drinkers to reflect on the flavour of the whisky, without influence from tasting notes, age or colour.
Visitors to the site can create their own flavour wheel by selecting six key aromas and six flavours they believe are most prominent in The Glenlivet Cipher. They are then given a score according to how well their tasting notes match Winchester’s.
Hidden video clues are given along the way to help visitors create their tasting notes.
The new expression features a cask makeup never before used by the Speyside distillery, but beyond divulging its abv of 48% and the fact it’s non-chill-filtered, no further facts are available about the whisky.
The Glenlivet is releasing 33,000 bottles of Cipher.
Its release follows that of The Glenlivet Alpha in 2013, which also denied purchasers any detail about colour, age, cask or flavour.
