Famously the first legal Scottish distillery in Speyside after owner George Smith took the brave step of applying for the first license to distil following the Excise Act of 1823, Glenlivet became so synonymous with the best quality that the company was forced to take legal action in the 1880s to prevent its rivals passing off their own wares as “the Real Stuff.” That standard of quality persists to this day, as does the brand’s reputation for producing a softer, smoother, lighter style of Speyside malt. This 14 Year old is matured in bourbon and sherry casks before a portion of the liquid is finished in the highest quality ex-cognac casks for at least six months. Light and pleasing, it shows the classic Speyside profile of honey, apple, cinnamon and vanilla with a medium warming finish.
