The story behind it

The maker

The Glenlivet was founded by George Smith in 1824 in the remote Livet Valley of Scotland, becoming the first legally licensed distillery in the parish. Smith's smooth, fruity style of whisky successfully defined the classic Speyside character and remains a benchmark for single malts worldwide.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Speyside distillery, this expression is matured in first-fill American oak casks which impart distinctive vanilla notes. This process pays homage to George Smith's original 1824 vision of creating a smooth, fruit-driven single malt.
