Glenlivet collab celebrates Jamaican and Scottish culture

Chivas Brothers-owned The Glenlivet has teamed up with Jamaican-Scottish menswear designer Nicholas Daley to debut a four-piece capsule collection.

The four-piece capsule collection was inspired by The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition

Designed to take modern travellers ‘seamlessly’ from the beach to the bar, the clothing collection comes on the heels of the brand’s partnership with Daley to style the campaign for The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition – the inaugural expression in the brand’s travel-inspired series Beyond Speyside, which launched in autumn 2025.

The series features unique cask finishes that pay homage to destinations, with The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Jamaica Edition featuring flavours synonymous with the Caribbean island, such as tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and coconut.

Daley’s capsule collection is designed for ‘travelling in style’, and aims to embody the campaign’s spirit of discovery.

Through intentional shapes, fabric and designs, each piece seeks to translate the vibrant notes of the Jamaican rum-cask-finished whisky, fusing the laid-back essence of Jamaica with the refinement of Scottish tailoring.

“This partnership with The Glenlivet is best symbolised by the dual logo I designed for this collection, which features a Scottish thistle intertwined with a Jamaican hibiscus and celebrates my dual heritage,” explained Daley.

“Both Jamaica and Scotland have had a major impact on everything from my creative process to my designs. From textures, to silhouettes, to the colours we decided to work with for this capsule, everything has been grounded in creating a harmonious blend of both my Jamaican and Scottish roots, ultimately working to bring the two worlds together in a meaningful way.”

The collection includes a linen shirt, tailored shorts, a bandana, and a jute bottle holder

The collection’s soft linen shirt (US$695) is a cabana-style piece inspired by an iconic Nicholas Daley silhouette embroidered with the dual logo. Meanwhile, the lounge shorts (US$465) are both relaxed and tailored, with a pop of The Glenlivet tartan – a pattern made by the whisky brand in collaboration with Locharron of Scotland.

Daley has also designed a hand-crochet bottle carrier (US$695) made from jute yarn in The Glenlivet colour palette. It features an embossed Glenlivet leather patch.

Finally, the silk bandana (US$85) showcases the bespoke thistle and hibiscus surrounded by Daley’s take on The Glenlivet tartan pattern.

A portion of the proceeds from the bandana will be donated to Food For The Poor Jamaica.

Maritza Noriega, director of marketing at The Glenlivet, said: “With more than 200 years of single malt mastery, The Glenlivet is bringing the Beyond Speyside journey to life through the shared spirit of Jamaican-Scottish discovery with Nicholas Daley and our commitment to the communities.

“The Glenlivet has always stood at the intersection of culture and craftsmanship, and this collection is another way our consumers can stand apart through refined fashion and whisky choices.”

The collection is available now at www.theglenlivet.com/nicholas-daley-collection.
