✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet Winchester Collection 50 Year Old, bottled in 2016, represents the pinnacle of Scotch whisky craftsmanship, serving as a liquid time capsule from 1966. This precious spirit was originally laid down by Captain Bill Smith Grant, the last distilling descendant of the distillery's founder, George Smith, and was carefully guarded over five decades before being released under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Alan Winchester. Housed in a spectacular hand-blown glass decanter, this extraordinary single malt speaks of Speyside's slow, patient maturation. Over fifty years in a single European oak cask has imparted a majestic complexity, blending the distillery's signature bright, orchard-fruit character with deep, dark notes of molasses, toasted raisins, and rich, resinous oak. It stands as a monument to Scotch whisky history, bridging generations of master distillers.
🍾 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.
