✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the remote, wild valley of the River Livet, George Smith famously risked the wrath of local illicit distillers to establish the first licensed distillery in the parish in 1824. The Glenlivet's signature bright, elegant, and fruity spirit is shaped by the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well and the tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills designed by Smith himself. This 13-year-old expression is matured exclusively in first-fill American white oak casks. These casks, previously used only to age American bourbon, impart a lavish layer of sweet vanilla, creamy coconut, and warm baking spices onto the distillery's classic orchard-fruit and floral character, creating a beautifully balanced and velvety single malt.
🍾 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.
