LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The definitive Speyside malt. It is remarkably consistent and unpretentious, offering a floral delicacy and fruitiness that is simply unrivaled in its price category.

The Library Note

In 1824, George Smith was the first to take out a license to distill legally in the parish of Glenlivet. His whisky was so widely imitated that he had to go to court to win the right to call it 'The' Glenlivet. Today, it remains the standard-bearer for Speyside elegance.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Fresh summer meadows with hints of tropical fruit, vibrant pineapple, and soft honey.

THE PALATE

Floral and smooth with notes of fresh peaches, vanilla custard, and a subtle hazelnut sweetness.

THE FINISH

A long, creamy finish with a lingering touch of white pepper and spice.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Classic' Dram: Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass. The narrow rim concentrates the delicate floral esters. Pairs beautifully with a light fruit tart or fresh peaches.

Malted Barley

Josie's Well Spring Water
