The Glenlivet 21 Year Old 'The Sample Room Collection' represents a masterclass in wood finishing from one of Speyside's most historic distilleries. This expression is meticulously crafted by finishing the aged single malt in a combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, rare Tronais cognac oak casks, and vintage Colheita port casks. This triple-cask finish imparts layers of rich dried fruits, warm ginger, and toasted oak to the signature bright, floral, and orchard-fruit character of The Glenlivet's spirit, which has been distilled in their iconic lantern-shaped copper stills since George Smith secured the first legal license in the glen in 1824.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Glenlivet valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet is legendary as the first licensed distillery in the parish, setting the standard for Speyside single malts. Now owned by Pernod Ricard, the distillery draws its mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and utilizes lantern-shaped copper pot stills to produce a characteristically bright, elegant, and fruity spirit. The Glenlivet is globally renowned for its exceptional wood management, utilizing traditional oak, American white oak, and French Limousin oak casks to age signature expressions such as the 12 Year Old, the 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve, and the rare Winchester Collection.
