Read More About the Brand Story
The legend of The Glenlivet began in 1824. In an era dominated by private distillation, founder George Smith bravely secured the first legal distilling license in the Livet Valley. Although this move caused dissatisfaction among neighboring illicit distillers, it ushered in a new age for Speyside whisky. The Glenlivet enjoys a privileged location, utilizing mineral-rich water from Josie's Well, coupled with unique tall lantern-shaped stills that filter out heavy oils, preserving the most delicate floral and fruity aromas.
In the 19th century, The Glenlivet's reputation for quality soared, leading many distilleries to try and capitalize by adding 'Glenlivet' to their names. Ultimately, the distillery won a legal battle for exclusive rights, becoming the only one allowed to bear the title 'The Glenlivet,' symbolizing its irreplaceable status. To this day, The Glenlivet continues to uphold George Smith's vision, constantly innovating yet always retaining the elegant floral style that captivates enthusiasts worldwide. Whether enjoyed neat or paired with fine dining, The Glenlivet 12 Years Old is your best partner for savoring life and experiencing the essence of Scotch whisky.
