" A lovely, honeyed, floral, fragrant nose. Medium-bodied, smooth and malty on the palate, with vanilla sweetness. Not as sweet, however, as the nose might suggest. The finish is pleasantly lengthy and sophisticated. An all round sound, elegant dram at a sensible price. Good whisky and good value. 40.0 ABV"~ Distillery notes

The remote and isolated Livet valley made it ideal for illicit distillation. This is where our founder George Smith learned his craft. Hidden away from the Customs Officers and soldiers amongst the hills and abundant springs, George had time to distil slowly making a whisky that would soon become world renowned. In August 1822, King George IV arrived in Scotland for a state visit and asked to try a drop of the infamous Glenlivet whisky. An illegal dram it was, but even that didn't stop the King.
To this day, The Glenlivet remains the benchmark that all other Speyside single malts are measured against. It's the definitive whisky that brings us together. And it must be said, we take great pride in setting that standard. To quote Captain Bill Smith Grant, "If we can't make good whisky, then we shouldn't make any whisky". We'll raise a glass to that.

Glenlivet 12 year
"I've tried several scotches over the years, both single malt and blended, but always come back to Glenlivet 12 year. It goes down smooth and is long on the palate with a slight vanilla taste and a complexity that takes you by surprise. Depending on the mood it works well both neat and on the rocks."

"I was introduced to Glenlivet 12yr when I was in the army in 1964 and it is still my favorite scotch. I like the hint of peat and smoothness."
