✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Created as a tribute to the pioneering spirit of George Smith, who in 1824 braved the hostile landscape of illicit distillers to secure the first legal license in the Glenlivet parish, The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve captures the classic, fruit-forward template of the distillery's earliest expressions. This single malt Scotch whisky is crafted using the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well and distilled in the iconic lantern-shaped copper pot stills designed by Smith himself, which draw up a light, elegant spirit. To capture its signature creamy sweetness, the spirit is matured in a combination of traditional oak casks and first-fill American white oak casks, imparting delicate notes of citrus, sweet pear, and vanilla.
🍾 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.
