✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This rare single cask release from The Glenlivet is steeped in the rich history of Speyside's legendary whisky smugglers. Named 'Blethermen' after a historic location along the old smuggling trails through the Glenlivet valley, this expression celebrates the rugged heritage of the region. Distilled in the iconic lantern-shaped copper pot stills that define the distillery's elegant, fruity style, this single malt was matured for 16 years in a single hand-selected American oak cask (Cask No. 70154) before being bottled in 2016. Because it is an unblended single cask bottling, it offers a pure snapshot of a specific moment in the distillery's maturation history, delivering rich notes of ripe orchard fruits, soft vanilla, sweet honey, and gentle oak spices.
🍾 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.
