TORONTO, June 17, 2021 /CNW/ - The Glenlivet, already
known as the drink challenging all of the archaic stereotypes of
Scotch, has introduced its Caribbean Reserve, a smooth single malt
that has been selectively finished in oak barrels that previously
held Caribbean rum.
The result is a bold and tropical summery taste.
On the nose, the Caribbean Reserve has sweet notes of pear and
red apple with a fabulous tropical twist of ripe bananas in syrup.
Taste rich caramel and coffee notes followed by mandarin orange,
vanilla and honey dew melon, with a finish that is well balanced
and smooth.
"We often associate single-malt with images of wintry
nights spent in front of a fireplace, but we'd like to
challenge that idea because whisky is for winter...until it's
summer," says Jayde De Brito, Marketing
Intern - Prestige Brands. "The
Glenlivet Caribbean
Reserve's light-bodied characteristics and tropical
fruit flavours adds a fresh twist to your summer
drink."
Just in time for the warmer weather, The
Glenlivet is
collaborating with David's Tea, the industry
leader in specialty tea, to bring Canada a new
and iconic summer drink. The Mango
Punch is a refreshing and tropical summer cocktail that will
make you feel like a bartender at home with its ease
and convenience:
- Using a steeper or filter, steep two
perfect spoonfuls of David's Tea
Mango Fruit Punch in ½ cup of hot water for seven
minutes.
- Pour into a measuring cup and let cool to room
temperature.
- Fill an old fashioned glass with ice and add a shot of
Caribbean Reserve, two shots of the Mango Fruit Punch concentrate,
½ teaspoon lemon juice and freshly grated ginger.
- Stir, then add two dashes of orange bitters.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon and enjoy.
The fresh, summer taste of Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is also
ideal in Caribbean-themed
cocktails. The Coco Breeze is a simple and refreshing drink, ideal
for poolside:
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour in a shot of Caribbean Reserve and two ounces of coconut
water.
- Stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
When planning your next summer activity, add a twist by
bringing The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve because
whisky and summer, why not?
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is now available for
purchase at your local retailer and will be rolling out
in Quebec soon.
