Glenlivet is celebrating its 200th anniversary with a commemorative 12 Year Old 100% American Oak matured expression that will feature crowdsourced art from Bogota, Colombia.

The new Glenlivet 12 Year Old Special Edition is bottled at 43% ABV and will be available until April 2024 at an RRP of 55 GBP.

The distillery held a contest where artists were invited to submit their designs, totalling 400 designs in 3 weeks from artists across 42 different countries. Was this UpWork or Fiverr? Ultimately an artist from Bogota, Colombia, won with a design that incorporated aspects of Glenlivet's 200 years of history.
