The Whisky Club has unveiled The Glenlivet 14 Year Old First-Fill American Oak Cask Strength – a single batch official bottling.
The Whisky Club regularly partners with leading distilleries to create exclusive whiskies for its members across Australia and New Zealand, including Glenmorangie, Balvenie, Bushmills and Lark.
This collaboration with The Glenlivet is notable in that it marks the first occasion in the distillery’s 202-year history that it has created a bespoke expression of this kind. The Glenlivet is one of the world’s largest-selling single malt Scotch whisky producers.
It comes after almost a decade of discussions and planning between the club and the distillery, notably with recently retired Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. The expression is inspired by Hyslop’s love of first fill barrels in cask strength bottlings, a love which inspired the original Nadurra series released two decades ago.
This one-off release shares the same profile: 100% first-fill American oak maturation, a 14-year age statement, bottled straight from the cask at 58.6% ABV, with no added colour and no chill filtration.
“This is a bucket list whisky,” said The Whisky Club General Manager Seamus Carroll. “This expression has taken years to put together and the result is worth the wait – heaps of bright fruit with vanilla and caramel all at glorious cask strength.
“We find that when making whiskies for Club Members the world’s best whiskymakers use the opportunity to flex and produce whiskies they always wanted to. This is up there with the best Glenlivet has produced in modern times, a direct celebration of the greatest Nadurra batches the whisky community was ever privileged to enjoy.”
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old First-Fill American Oak Cask Strength will be available exclusively to The Whisky Club’s Australian members as June’s Whisky of the Month from 5 June 2026, priced at $145. Non-members can join free at thewhiskyclub.com.au.
