✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet 'Alt nan Seileach' Single Cask Edition is a rare, limited-run single malt named after the 'Willow Burn'—a historic tributary flowing through the remote, windswept hills of Speyside that has long nourished the wild landscape surrounding the distillery. Distilled in 2001 and matured for 14 years in a single oak cask (Cask #5403) before being bottled in 2015, this expression represents the pinnacle of Glenlivet's traditional craftsmanship. The distillery's signature tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills impart a remarkably bright, floral, and fruity character to the spirit, which then develops deep complexity during its long, undisturbed slumber. Because it is bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration, it offers an unadulterated glimpse into the pure, historic style of Speyside whisky-making, echoing the legendary drams that George Smith smuggled through the glen in the early 19th century.
🍾 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.
