* Glenlivet Cipher (2016)
Glenlivet Cipher (2016) – Limited Edition Mystery Release
Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Content: 700 ml
Alcohol: 48.0%
Description
The Glenlivet Cipher is one of the distillery's most mysterious releases ever. At its 2016 launch, no official tasting notes were released: no nose, no palate, no finish. Everything was deliberately kept secret—aficionados and connoisseurs had to crack the riddle themselves.
The result is a whisky that has now achieved cult status, partly thanks to its limited edition and the unique black bottle without details.
