Read More About the Brand Story
The Glenlivet was founded in 1824, the first legally licensed distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. Founder George Smith was known for his commitment to quality, and the excellence of his whisky led other local distilleries to imitate and claim the 'Glenlivet' name. To protect its authentic status, the distillery successfully applied for a legal patent, becoming the only brand allowed to be called 'The Glenlivet'.
The core style of Glenlivet lies in the use of tall, lantern-shaped copper stills. This design allows for greater interaction with the spirit, extracting the lightest and most delicate fruit and floral notes. The 15 Years Old is an embodiment of innovation, where the Master Distiller boldly introduced French Limousin Oak casks. Utilizing their high tannin characteristics, these barrels add captivating nutty and roasted spice notes to the spirit, making it a rare and elegant classic within Speyside whisky.
