The story behind it

The maker

George Smith founded the distillery in 1824, drawing pure mineral-rich water from Josie's Well to define his whiskey's elegant character. Today, The Glenlivet is recognized worldwide as the definitive Speyside single malt that set the standard for the region.

How it is made

Established in 1824 by George Smith, the distillery & rickhouse of The Glenlivet are located in the remote Livet Valley of Speyside. It was the first licensed distillery in the parish of Glenlivet, famously securing its legal status despite local opposition.
