✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is a classic Speyside single malt whisky, shaped by nearly two decades of maturation in a combination of first and second-fill American oak casks and ex-Sherry oak casks. This dual cask influence imparts a perfect balance of tropical fruitiness from the American oak and rich, spicy complexity from the Sherry wood. The history of Glenlivet is steeped in Scottish lore; founded by George Smith in 1824, it was the first legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet. Smith famously carried a pair of hair-trigger pistols to defend himself against jealous illicit distillers who threatened his life and livelihood. This expression showcases the distillery's signature elegant, floral, and fruity character, deepened by time into notes of ripe pear, orange peel, and warm baking spices.
🍾 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.
