The Glenlivet
The Glenlivet, by being the first licensed distillery in the valley, set the standards in quality and taste that went on to define the Speyside style of single malt whisky: Smooth, Rich and Fruity.
The Glenlivet range
This whisky pays tribute to the original vision of The Glenlivet’s founder, George Smith: to create a smooth and timeless single malt. It offers a fruity character typically associated with The Glenlivet and a delicate aroma of citrus and a creamy sweetness to seduce the senses.
This is a spicier version of the original classic with a touch of smoothness. The spirit gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks.
Over the course of 18 years our Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced.
Drawn from casks made of new American white oak, imparting hints of creamy vanilla to this wonderfully rich single malt. This is a cask-strength single malt that represents the skill of our team and the tradition of The Glenlivet. Unlike most modern whiskies, this one is non-chill filtered, so it’s very richly textured.
Matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry oak casks introducing the rich, sultry notes of dried fruit and warm spice. Unlike most modern whiskies, Nàdurra Oloroso, is non-chill filtered so has all the body you would expect from a whisky that has been drawn straight from the cask.

Know-how
The Glenlivet owes its unique taste to a number of specific factors relating to its production and location. The distillery is located in the Cairngorms National Park at over 270m above sea level. According to weather records, it is one of the coldest places in Britain characterised by strong winds and heavy snowfalls in winter.
The water drawn from Josie’s Well, a source of hard mineral water, enables complex aromas to develop during the distillation process. The lantern-shaped stills give the spirit its outstanding balance and strong character. Lastly, a careful ageing process, using hand-selected oak casks, gives The Glenlivet its full flavour.
