Glenlivet 18 Year Old Hand Filled Cask #1 Batch 2 70cl, 50.7%

Description

Glenlivet 18 Year Old Hand Filled Cask #1 Batch 2 70cl, 50.7% is a rare distillery hand-filled Speyside single malt that combines mature Glenlivet character with the added appeal of a cask-specific release. The current listing identifies it as an 18 year old whisky from Cask #1, released as Batch 2, matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at 50.7% ABV in a 70cl format.

What makes this bottling especially attractive is its hand-filled status. These releases tend to feel more individual than standard range expressions, and here that appeal is strengthened by the single-cask identity, higher natural-style strength and the fact that Bottle Number 49 is shown on the current listing. The presentation with its green Glenlivet distillery carton also gives it strong shelf presence for collectors and gifting.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has very good collector appeal because it sits in the kind of niche that Glenlivet enthusiasts actively look for: a hand-filled distillery release, tied to a specific cask, batch and bottle number rather than a broad commercial run. That combination makes it feel far more personal and far less replaceable than a standard official bottling.

Its appeal is strengthened further by the bourbon cask profile and the boxed presentation. For collectors, that means it works both as a display bottle and as a more unusual example of mature Glenlivet outside the core range. Bottle Number 49 on the current listing adds another layer of individuality, even though no confirmed total cask outturn was identified.
