Product Information

The Glenlivet 12yr Single Malt: Four silver medals and a gold between 2005 and 2010 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The final bottling in the series is the Rare Cask, so called because it is released in small batches. It is spicy and sweet on the nose, with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg an caramel. Oak plays a big part in the nose here as do peaches, apricots and ginger. The distillery has 7 wash stills each with a capacity of 15,000 litres and 7 spirit stills with a capacity of 10,000 litres. [6] The spirit is then matured in oak casks. [5] If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Today, the distillery is a major stop on the Scotland's Malt Whisky Trail of seven working Speyside single malt distilleries in the Strathspey, Scotland region. During the Glenlivet tour (after paying a fee), visitors can sample three of the products. [19]

Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819.Illicit distilleries were commonplace throughout the Speyside area from 1700s but were largely made redundant with the passing of the Excise Act in 1823. [12] It was under this legislation that legal distilleries could be formed, subject to holding a license. Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, was allegedly instrumental in the passing of this legislation. Although there is no historical record of his involvement in the issue, his tenant, George Smith, who was operating an illicit distillery on his Upper Drummin farm at the time, became the first person in Scotland to apply for and receive a license to legally produce spirit.

If the Glenlivet Distiller’s Reserve was more readily available, and not carrying a TR price, I’d recommend it to new Scotch drinkers. But as it sits it’s something I’d recommend trying a pour of when you’re traveling abroad and, in the meantime, I’ll keep recommending the Glenfiddich 15 which is slightly better, ~33% cheaper and readily available. The Glenlivet 21yr Single Malt: two double golds, one gold, and one silver medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition between 2007 and 2010 and scores of 94 and 93 from the Beverage Testing Institute between 2009 and 2010.

On the palate this whisky is immediately soft and fudge-like with further overtones of toffee and chewy caramel sweets. These sweet notes combine well with the green fruit from the nose, although the apple and pear now feel more stewed or cooked rather than fresh and crisp. Further notes of heather honey and golden syrup add some depth, along with hints of vanilla and sultana.

Glenlivet Distiller’s Reserve is actually a bit more complex than its 14 and 15-year counterparts. While it’s about the same price, it seems to have a bit more layers of flavor to it. In particular, as advertised on the front of the bottle, it does have more fruit and spice flavors. What areGlenlivet Distiller’s Reserve’s strongest attributes/flavors? Whiskybase B.V.

George Smith died in 1871 and his son John Gordon Smith inherited the distillery. The quality of the product from their distillery had resulted in the other distilleries in the area renaming their products to "Glenlivet" and by the time of George's death, several distillers were doing so. J.G. Smith decided to take legal action and tried to claim ownership on The Glenlivet name, this legal action was only partially successful - the verdict forced other distillers in the area to stop calling their whisky Glenlivet and gave J.G. Smith and the blender Andrew Usher sole permission to use the brand, but permitted other distilleries to hyphenate their distillery name with the "Glenlivet" name, which resulted in new distillery names such as The Glen Moray-Glenlivet Distillery, a distillery which is situated nearby.
