It captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that its founder first envisioned. It's a classic single malt style of whisky but with an innovative, fresh taste. It starts with a skilful selection of casks that enhances the signature fruity flavours of The Glenlivet. The traditional oak casks are complemented by the selective use of American first-fill casks to give a hint of creamy sweetness - creating an exceptionally well-balanced and smooth malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2019 International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition (IWSC) Gold award.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge 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 distiller 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour: Pale gold.
