✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Distillery Reserve Collection from The Glenlivet represents the pinnacle of the distillery's craft, showcasing rare, single cask expressions bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration. This specific 14-year-old release, drawn from First-Fill Barrel No. 100302 and bottled in 2020, offers a pure, unadulterated look into the Speyside distillery's signature style. Historically, George Smith's valley distillery defied local rivals and eventually secured the first legal license in the parish in 1824. The use of lantern-shaped copper pot stills imparts a famously bright, floral, and fruity character to the spirit. Aging in a first-fill barrel ensures maximum wood interaction, infusing the mature spirit with rich vanilla, coconut, and sweet spice notes derived directly from the pristine oak.
🍾 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.
