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.
