✨ Tekniske specifikationer
An extraordinary relic of Speyside history, The Glenlivet 'For the Chairman' 21 Year Old, bottled in 1984, is a legendary single malt that captures the essence of a bygone era. Distilled in the early 1960s, this expression was originally selected from the distillery's most exceptional casks, a tribute to the historic tradition of reserving the finest spirits for the chairman's private stock and esteemed guests. Drawing mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and distilled in Glenlivet's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills, this whisky underwent over two decades of slow maturation. The result is an incredibly complex, elegant spirit boasting notes of rich dried fruits, soft oak spices, heather honey, and a delicate whisper of peat smoke, representing the pinnacle of traditional Speyside craftsmanship.
🍾 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.
