AWARD-WINNING BRITISH DESIGNER BETHAN GRAY DESIGNS THE
GLENLIVET’S WINCHESTER COLLECTION VINTAGE 1967,
A LIMITED-EDITION 50-YEAR-OLD SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
The Winchester Collection Vintage 1967 represents the first
time the brand has collaborated with a designer to create The
Glenlivet bottle and display case. The maple and copper case
and hand blown glass bottle were created by Bethan in response
to the land around the distillery, her family history in the area
and the complex whisky itself. This collaboration signals a
rising demand in the spirits market for luxury craftsmanship
and elevates the bottle to a design object for collection and
display, rather than consumption alone.
The Vintage 1967 is a coveted collector’s item that represents
the culmination of more than 40 years of dedication and
expertise from Master Distiller Alan Winchester. Retailing at
USD $25,000, only 150 bottles of the Winchester Collection
Vintage 1967 will be available globally. The whisky is a blend
of rare single malts, the youngest of which was laid down by
former The Glenlivet Master Distiller, Robert Arthur in 1967.
