WHISKY lovers are being given a sneak peek into The Glenlivet’s newly renovated visitor centre.

The revamped distillery brand home will reopen its doors to visitors on July 1 after 18 months of extensive renovations.

It is hoped the redesigned visitor centre will entice whisky fans old and new to the area.

Set over 1000 square metres, the home of The Glenlivet will offer fully immersive experiences that celebrate the life and history of the area.

Top Scottish craftworkers were involved in creating pieces for the new interiors.

Visitors can expect a blend of innovative technologies, whisky tastings and exclusive bottlings and will be among the first to trial a Glenlivet Cocktail Capsule as part of the new experiences.

They will also have the opportunity to discover whiskies from the archives, including rare editions such as the Atlantic Single Cask 40-year-old and the newly released 38-year-old Cellar Collection, with only 30 bottles distilled and available exclusively at the centre.

Linda Brown, visitor experience manager, said: "At The Glenlivet we believe in pushing boundaries and breaking tradition, and this is certainly represented throughout this redesign.

"I worked at the visitor experience when it was last refurbished 23 years ago – but this is something else.

"To tell the brand's story in a truly authentic way, we have reinvigorated the original experience, striving to give whisky lovers the best possible time whilst visiting the distillery.

"We look forward to welcoming back our loyal fans, as well as new faces."
