✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet Conglass Single Cask Edition is a rare, limited-release single malt that showcases the pure, unblended character of a single exceptional cask. Named after the River Conglass, a picturesque tributary winding through the rugged Speyside hills near the distillery, this expression pays homage to the wild, pristine water sources that define the region's distilling heritage. Distilled in Glenlivet's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills, which draw out the bright, floral, and fruity esters of the spirit, this 14-year-old whisky was matured in a single hand-selected cask. Unlike standard releases, single cask bottlings are non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength, offering an intimate, unaltered glimpse into the interaction between Speyside spirit and oak over more than a decade.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Glenlivet blev grundlagt i 1824 af George Smith i den afsidesliggende Livet Valley og var det første lovlige destilleri i sognet efter vedtagelsen af The Excise Act i 1823. Destilleriet ligger højt i Speyside og henter sit rene, mineralrige vand fra Josie's Well, hvilket danner grundlag for en langsom og kontrolleret gæringsproces. The Glenlivet er berømt for sine karakteristiske lanterneformede kobberkedler med lange, slanke halse, der sikrer en intens kobberkontakt og et højt tilbageløb. Denne særlige konstruktion resulterer i et bemærkelsesværdigt elegant, esterdrevet og floralt destillat, kendetegnet ved fine signaturnoter af grønne æbler, modne pærer og blomstrende frugttræer. Fadlagringen spænder vidt fra klassiske bourbonfade af amerikansk hvideg og europæiske sherryfade til fransk Limousin-eg samt innovative aftapninger som Caribbean Reserve. Destilleriet ejes i dag af Pernod Ricard under Chivas Brothers og står fortsat som et globalt referencepunkt for den klassiske single malt-tradition i Speyside.
