✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet Cellar Collection represents a landmark series of ultra-rare, limited-edition single malts curated directly from the distillery's most historic archives. Bottled in 2001, this release showcases the pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship, drawing on the legendary heritage established by George Smith in 1824. Distilled using the region's mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and refined in Glenlivet's signature tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills, the spirit underwent decades of quiet maturation in select oak casks. This slow interaction with the wood in the cool, damp climate of the Livet valley imparted an incredibly complex profile of rich orchard fruits, subtle spice, and deep oak undertones, embodying the sophisticated, elegant style that defined Speyside single malts on the global stage.
🍾 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.
