The Glenlivet Enigma was the fourth in the “Mystery Series”, a range in the 2010s that featured the Alpha (2013), Cipher (2016), Code (2018), Enigma (2019), and Spectra (2020). These bottles usually came with little to no details on the packaging or website and encouraged drinkers to explore the range of experiences Glenlivet had to offer without relying on marketing guidance. Some bottles featured puzzles or other clues the consumer could solve to reap notes or facts about the bottles in question. The Enigma was the highest-proofed offering from the series.
Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
The Glenlivet was founded in 1824 by George and John Smith, and has remained almost continually open for over two centuries apart from a few years during World War II. Currently owned by the Chivas Brothers Group under the Pernod Ricard corporate umbrella, it is currently the largest selling scotch in the United States and second biggest in the world. While a minority of the distillery’s 10.5 million liters per year output goes into Chivas Brothers blends, the vast majority goes into single malts like the Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve. The bedrock of the Signature Collection, this single malt is matured in oaks with a selection of first-fill American oak casks.
