✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is a masterpiece of Speyside single malt craftsmanship, shaped by decades of tradition in the remote Livet valley. This expression is matured in a selection of hand-selected casks, combining first and second-fill American oak—which imparts sweet tropical notes—with ex-sherry oak casks that introduce rich, spicy complexity. The distillery's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills, designed by founder George Smith, encourage maximum copper contact, resulting in an incredibly elegant, bright, and floral spirit. Drawing its mineral-rich water from the historic Josie's Well, this 18-year-old expression represents a perfect balance of ripe pear, smooth vanilla, and warm oak spice, carrying the legacy of the first licensed distillery in Speyside.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Glenlivet blev grundlagt i 1824 af George Smith i den afsidesliggende Livet Valley i skotske Speyside, og destilleriet har en historisk særstatus som det allerførste i sognet, der opnåede officiel licens efter Excise Act i 1823. I dag hører destilleriet under Chivas Brothers og Pernod Ricard. Det mineralrige vand hentes fra Josie's Well, og destillationen foregår på høje, lanterneformede kobberkedler, hvilket skaber en bemærkelsesværdig let og elegant spiritus. The Glenlivet er berømt for at have sat standarden for klassisk Speyside single malt whisky med sin bløde, frugtige profil præget af modne æbler fra frugtplantagen, fine florale nuancer og et diskret strejf af eg – en stil, der udfolder sig smukt i alt fra den ikoniske 12 Year Old til sjældne aftapninger i Winchester- og Cellar Collection-serierne.
