✨ 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 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.
