The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is a single malt from The Glenlivet distillery, in Speyside, Scotland, which gives 1824 as its founding year and belongs to Chivas Brothers, part of Pernod Ricard. It is an expression with no age statement, which the house recommends for summer drinks, and it won a gold medal at the 2024 International Spirits Challenge.

Like all Scotch, it spends at least three years in oak casks; then only part of the single malt is finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum, and the batches are brought together. The brand suggests drinking it neat or with a mixer and proposes cocktails such as the Tartan Tiki, its version of the Mai Tai.
