The story behind it

The maker

Founded by George Smith in 1824, The Glenlivet was the first licensed distillery in the parish of Glenlivet. George's vision of an exceptionally smooth, fruity malt defined the signature style of Speyside scotch, establishing a historic house celebrated globally today.

How it is made

Deep in the Speyside region, the distillery & rickhouse of The Glenlivet have been crafting legendary single malt whiskies since 1824. This modern expression marries traditional Scottish distillation with cask seasoning techniques inspired by Caribbean rum producers.
