A round-up of the latest reviews, news and product launches for foodies

NEW DISTILLERY VISITOR CENTRE

The Glenlivet Distillery in Speyside has opened the doors to its new visitor centre.

After 18 months of extensive renovations, the new centre will help guests discover the brand’s rich history through tours and exploring some of the distillery’s rarest editions that can’t be found anywhere else.

The Glenlivet Cocktail Collection that took the internet by storm in 2019 will also be returning to Speyside and the first few visitors to the new centre will be among the first in the world to trial a new Glenlivet Cocktail Capsule as part of the new experiences at the distillery.
