GLENLIVET 12YR DOUBLE OAK SINGLE MALT 1.75L

Aisle 4

Maturation in American oak imparts vanilla notes and gives the whisky its distinct smoothness. The mineral rich water from Josie’s Well ensures the best possible results during mashing and fermenting to form the flavours that define this expression.

The Glenlivet is perhaps the best known of all the Scotch single malts. Its founder, George Smith, with the encouragement of the Duke of Gordon, was the first to apply for a legal distilling license in 1824. George Smith was going against popular sentiment at the time in doing so, but his foresight to see the economic opportunities of legal distilling would give The Glenlivet a “head start” on all the competition that is yet to be overcome. It would be his “true grit” and a pair of hair-trigger pistols given to him by the laird of Aberlour that would ensure his perseverance.
