✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Double Oak represents the quintessential Speyside single malt style, shaped by the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well and the distillery's signature tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills designed by founder George Smith. Smith famously secured the first legal license in the region in 1824, defying local illicit distillers who threatened his life. This expression undergoes a dual maturation process, aging in both traditional European oak and American white oak casks. The American oak imparts sweet notes of vanilla and coconut, while the traditional oak lends structure and subtle spice, resulting in a remarkably smooth, bright, and fruit-forward spirit.
🍾 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.
