The name honors Captain William Smith Grant, the great-grandson of the founder of The Glenlivet, who served France during WWI. Available first at the distillery and global travel retail beginning in May 2018 with a global release to follow in the summer months.

Tasting Notes

"The common theme between the nose and palate here is a mix of light citrus, bubblegum, and vanilla. The Glenlivet Captain's Reserve is pretty inoffensive on the whole. Hints of honey, cinnamon, and graham crackers also work their way into the taste. "
