The
Glenlivet, 15 Year Old, is a Speyside single malt whisky that 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. The
Limousin oak we use is cut in France s Dordogne region, where it s often used
to mature cognacs. Its low density allows the whisky to sink deep into the
wood, with a carefully controlled period of how long the whisky matures in
the casks so as not to overpower its unique, pleasing spiciness.
George Smith, The Glenlivet's founder, didn't follow the lead of the
illegal still owners. In 1824, he obtained a distiller's licence to become
the first legal distillery in Glenlivet, Scotland. 50 years later, George
finally won the exclusive right to call his whisky The Glenlivet',
definitively marking it as the single malt that started it all.
To this day, The Glenlivet remains the benchmark that all other Speyside
single malts are measured against
With a deep intense gold colour, The Glenlivet offers a sweet fruity, and
delicate spice taste and creamy, rich, buttery flavour on the nose. And
finished with a lingering trace of toasted hazelnuts and almonds.
Drink to your own preference; neat, in a cocktail, or simply with a drop of
water to open the creamy, smooth character.
When serving with ice, large cubes are recommended to allow slow dilution
releasing the creamy, sweet characters. |
