✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet Cellar Collection represents the pinnacle of the distillery's artisanal craftsmanship, consisting of extremely limited, one-off releases selected from the most exceptional historic casks resting in the distillery's warehouses. Bottled in 2011, this rare single malt expression showcases the profound depth that Speyside whiskies can achieve when subjected to decades of patient maturation. Utilizing the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well and distilled in the iconic lantern-shaped copper pot stills designed by founder George Smith in the early 19th century, the spirit possesses a signature bright, elegant, and floral character. Over its long sleep in hand-selected oak casks, this distillate has transformed, absorbing rich wood spices, dried fruit notes, and a complex, velvety texture. The Cellar Collection is highly coveted by collectors as a liquid time capsule of Speyside history.
🍾 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.
