✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Glenlivet XXV (25 Year Old) represents the pinnacle of the distillery's core range, a majestic single malt Scotch whisky that marries decades of traditional oak aging with a meticulous finishing period in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. Born in the wild, mist-shrouded hills of Speyside, where George Smith famously defied local smugglers to secure the region's first legal distilling license in 1824, this expression is crafted using the distillery's signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills. These tall stills encourage maximum copper contact, imparting an incredibly elegant and fruity character to the spirit. Over a quarter of a century, the whisky develops a profound complexity, absorbing the rich, nutty, and dried-fruit influences of the Spanish sherry wood. Each batch, including Batch No 0220F, is individually monitored and finished, resulting in a luxurious tapestry of dark chocolate, warm spices, toasted nuts, and sweet sultanas.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Glenlivet blev grundlagt i 1824 af George Smith i den afsidesliggende Livet Valley og var det første lovlige destilleri i sognet efter vedtagelsen af The Excise Act i 1823. Destilleriet ligger højt i Speyside og henter sit rene, mineralrige vand fra Josie's Well, hvilket danner grundlag for en langsom og kontrolleret gæringsproces. The Glenlivet er berømt for sine karakteristiske lanterneformede kobberkedler med lange, slanke halse, der sikrer en intens kobberkontakt og et højt tilbageløb. Denne særlige konstruktion resulterer i et bemærkelsesværdigt elegant, esterdrevet og floralt destillat, kendetegnet ved fine signaturnoter af grønne æbler, modne pærer og blomstrende frugttræer. Fadlagringen spænder vidt fra klassiske bourbonfade af amerikansk hvideg og europæiske sherryfade til fransk Limousin-eg samt innovative aftapninger som Caribbean Reserve. Destilleriet ejes i dag af Pernod Ricard under Chivas Brothers og står fortsat som et globalt referencepunkt for den klassiske single malt-tradition i Speyside.
