✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Livet Valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet holds historic distinction as the first legally licensed distillery in the parish following the 1823 Excise Act. Today part of Chivas Brothers under Pernod Ricard, the distillery draws mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and employs tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills to achieve a remarkably light and refined distillation. The Glenlivet is celebrated for setting the benchmark of classic Speyside single malt whisky, defined by a smooth, fruit-forward profile laden with orchard apples, delicate floral tones, and subtle oak, as showcased in acclaimed expressions ranging from its iconic 12 Year Old to rare editions in the Winchester and Cellar Collections.
