✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This historic bottling represents a pivotal moment in the global appreciation of single malt Scotch whisky. Imported to Italy by the visionary distributor Armando Giovinetti during the late 20th century, this 'Unblended All Malt'—an older terminology for single malt—helped spark a spirits revolution. At a time when the global market was dominated by blended whiskies, Giovinetti recognized the exceptional quality of The Glenlivet's distillate. Crafted in the remote Glenlivet valley of Speyside using mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and distilled in signature lantern-shaped copper pot stills, this expression was aged for 12 years in traditional oak casks. It delivers the classic, elegant Speyside profile of soft orchard fruits, honey, and gentle floral notes that captivated Italian connoisseurs and established the category internationally.
🍾 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.
