Glen Spey-Glenlivet 16-Year-Old Speyside Single Malt 46%

Glen Spey-Glenlivet 16 Year Old is an elegant and exciting Speyside Single Malt Whisky from Cadenhead’s Original Collection. Here, the classic fruity Speyside style meets the more complex character resulting from aging in Amontillado hogsheads.

The whiskey was released as part of Cadenhead’s Original Collection in August 2026. Its 16 years of aging have created a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, sweetness, and warm spices. The Amontillado casks add extra depth and an elegant, spicy note.

16-Year-Old Speyside Whisky from Cadenhead’s

Glen Spey Distillery is located in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. The distillery’s whisky is relatively rare as a single malt. A large portion of its production has traditionally been used for blended whisky. This makes independent bottlings from Glen Spey particularly interesting.

Cadenhead’s has selected this 16-year-old Glen Spey for its Original Collection. It is bottled at 46%, offering a beautiful balance between fruit, oak, and spices.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh and inviting with rhubarb, vanilla cream, and red wine-like notes. Rounded out by ripe apples and other orchard fruits.

Taste: Full-bodied and fruity with red apples, mango sorbet, and spiced gingerbread. The Amontillado casks add extra depth and warmth.

Finish: Long and spicy with cardamom, cloves, and fresh orange. An elegant finish where the fruit and spices linger beautifully.

The History of Cadenhead’s

William Cadenhead was founded in Aberdeen in 1842 and is among Scotland’s oldest independent whisky bottlers. For generations, the house has selected interesting casks from a wide range of Scottish distilleries.

Cadenhead’s Original Collection focuses on whiskies with distinct distillery character and intriguing cask aging. The Glen Spey-Glenlivet 16-Year-Old is a fine example of this philosophy and an exciting choice for both Speyside enthusiasts and whisky collectors.
