✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This extraordinary 40-year-old single malt represents the pinnacle of Speyside distilling, originating from the historic Glenlivet Distillery founded by George Smith in 1824. Smith famously carried dual pistols to protect himself from jealous illicit distillers in the remote Glenlivet valley. The distillery's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills, designed by Smith himself, draw mineral-rich water from Josie's Well to create an exceptionally bright, elegant, and floral spirit. Over forty years of slow maturation in hand-selected oak casks, this expression has developed an unparalleled depth, weaving together notes of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, toasted oak, and delicate spice, showcasing the profound impact of time and Speyside's unique microclimate.
🍾 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.
