The Glenlivet 12yo Single Malt Whisky

In the remote and wild Livet Valley in Scotland was Glenlivet founder George Smith. There he honed his whisky distilling skills…while hiding from customs officers and soldiers!

In 1822 King George IV arrived in Scotland and requested a dram of the (illegal and infamous!) Glenlivet whisky. A couple of years later and some changes to the legislation George was the first legal distiller in the parish of Glenlivet.

In later years other distillers tried to rip off George’s Glenlivet brand but until a eureka moment and a magic three letter word – T.H.E. From 1884 as part of a historic agreement only The Glenlivet was the only whisky legally about to use the Glenlivet name.

The The Glenlivet 12yo Single Malt Whisky is the signature style of TGL (The Glenlivet). First matured in traditional oak before being finished in American oak gives it sweet vanilla flavours. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac called this “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.”

Enjoy neat or on the rocks. Or how about a cocktail for The Glenlivet 12yo? We reckon it’s got to be The Glenlivet Royal.
