Break-even Bottle No 31 | The Glenlivet XXV | The Cottage

Our break-even bottles are exquisite and rare, outside of what you’ll typically see on menus. One of those drinks that you savor and immediately want to share with your best friend. We feel the same way and want to share these with you, so we’re selling these bottles in 1 oz. pours for cost. (Which is, legally speaking, the lowest we can go.) Tuesdays only, we open the bottle at 4p and sell 1 oz pours until it’s gone.

Reservations (https://resy.com/cities/bol/the-cottage-bothell) highly recommended but not required.

Bottle No. 31 is The Glenlivet XXV. Using some of the rarest of their whiskies, all of which have been aged for at least 25 years, this is a batch-produced whisky finished in ex-sherry butts. The Glenlivet’s team of experts individually select each cask and monitor the whisky in its finishing process to make sure the Oloroso-soaked wood adds the subtlest sherry tones to an intense, silky and elegant whisky. This molten amber liquid is nearly as splendid to hold in your hand as it is to drink. Afterwards, the finish is incredibly long, rich and balanced. But it’s the nose on the 25 Year Old that really drives whisky-lovers to distraction – with scents of bittersweet dark chocolate and plump, sweet sultana. This opulent whisky, the oldest expression in The Glenlivet’s core range, is a sublime choice to mark special occasions. (Or a great Tuesday night in Washington!)
