PASSPORT SCOTCH
BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
Discover the unmistakable smooth sweetness of Passport, a unique Scotch blend born in the heart of Scotland.
The 15 Year Old gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. In fact, we at The Glenlivet were one of the first to use French oak for making whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak we use is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows whisky to sink deep into the wood, and we carefully control how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower the desired result: a unique, pleasing spiciness.

In 1783, Martell was the first Maison to ship cognac to the United States. Today, Martell celebrates this history with another first: Martell Blue Swift, the first-ever spirit drink made of cognac VSOP and then finished in bourbon casks.
Through Martell’s signature distillation process, the eaux-de-vie absorbs the rich aromatic tones of the bourbon cask. The result is Martell’s hallmark style – delicate notes of candied fruit and plum – complemented by the subtle sweetness of vanilla and toasted oak from the casks. Exceptionally smooth, with a rounded taste and unique character.

VAT 69 is a Scotch blended whisky created by William Sanderson & Son Limited of South Queensferry, Scotland, now part of Diageo.
Despite its name, VAT 69 is not a vatted malt, but a blend of about 40 malt and grain whiskies. VAT 69 Reserve carries no standard age statement because of the combination of the malts and grains.
It is a famous old brand of blended whisky, chosen by Sir Ernest Shackleton to accompany him on his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 ‘for medicinal and celebratory purposes’, and also famously the favourite whisky of Captain Lewis Nixon of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, immortalised in the book and TV series Band of Brothers.
The Glenlivet 12 Year is a vibrant gold hue with a summery nose. Since its palate is well balanced with forward tropical fruit notes, it’s best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a little water added. At the finish, you’ll savor a smooth creaminess with hints of fresh hazelnuts and marzipan. Pair The Glenlivet with seafood dishes, such as seared scallops, to bring out the best characteristics in both. Even if you’ve never tasted a malt whisky before, The Glenlivet will make anyone a fan.
Created by Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, The Glenlivet 18 is a single malt whisky that is a blend of the distillery’s famous whiskies. Each whisky that goes into it has been aged for at least 18 years. The selection is made from American oak and European oak casks and includes both first- and second-fill barrels.
