Distiller Notes
The 21 Year Old is produced in small, bespoke batches. Each cask is nosed and approved, making every batch unique. A sizable inventory of whisky of this age is extremely rare and only the best are selected for this expression. The complex combination of cask types imparts richness, intensity and a long finish to the whisky. Proof: 86
The Glenlivet has been distilled for pleasure since 1824. Founder George Smith, believed whisky as the ultimate pleasure should be made unhurried, as time and care created the highest quality and flavorsome product. George’s innovative thinking, technique and the best ingredients created a whisky that set the standard for the region of Speyside.
Today, still considered the definitive Speyside malt produced in the Livet Valley, The Glenlivet exhibits the characteristic delicacy and softness of the region. It is acclaimed for its balance and perfect finish and is the benchmark against which all other malts are measured.
The Glenlivet set the standard in quality and taste that went on to define the Speyside style of whisky. There were many imitators, but no equals. That’s why a landmark case in 1884 ruled in favour of our single malt being the only one that could call itself The Glenlivet. To this day, The Glenlivet remains the benchmark that all other Speyside single malts are measured against. Glenlivet will always take great pride in setting that standard.
