The Whisky Exchange has always been a haven for whisky lovers – a specialist retailer stocking more than 9,000 whiskies and fine spirits. But despite its name, you’ve never actually been able to trade on this particular exchange. Until now.
The brand is launching a new extension to its offering called The Whisky Exchange Cabinet. A secure blockchain-enabled global marketplace, the Cabinet will facilitate the purchase and sale of rare spirits, allowing any digital currency (including debit and credit cards) to be used.
To celebrate the launch, The Whisky Exchange Cabinet is exclusively offering a new ultra-rare release from The Glenlivet called The Twelve Elements.
Paying homage to the 12 essential elements of The Glenlivet single malt, each of the one-off 12 bottles in this collection will be exclusively available at the Cabinet, ahead of bottling this summer.
Crafted from whisky aged in two carefully selected casks – both chosen for their distinct qualities and matured independently since 1974 – the single malt brings together caramel sweetness and honeycomb notes from the first-fill bourbon barrel, while the re-fill hogshead imparts richer toasted oak and ginger spice undertones.
Owners will receive a digital certificate upon purchase, together with the opportunity to redeem 5cl samples of the rare cask liquid at 48, 49 and 50 years old, and the full bottle upon release.
‘The Glenlivet: The Twelve Elements’ will be available as the first product from The Whisky Exchange Cabinet HERE from 11.00am (GMT) on Wednesday 21st February 2024, with interested parties able to visit the site and view the collection details from Monday 12 February. Each bottle in the collection is priced at €40,000 + VAT.
