The Capsule Collection offers three flavors: citrus, wood and spice flavors crafted by the award-winning bartenders and co-owners of Tayer, according to Scotsman Food and Drink.
These cocktails use whisky from the distiller’s Founder’s Reserve which is a single malt scotch made using “time-honored distillation methods” that The Glenlivet founder, George Smith, “introduced so long ago.” In this new drink option, The Glenlivet combines its traditional whisky with a modern method of beverage drinking.
