SPEYSIDE CLASSICS:
GLENLIVET SINGLE MALT

George Smith began distilling above the River Livet in the 1820s in a picturesque spot that looks north towards Ben Rinnes and Cardhu. Hidden far from civilisation, the Livet valley was the ideal place to build an illicit distillery as it meant that Smith could distil slowly, with little chance of interruption by the excise man. As a result, he was able to create a soft, fruity style of whisky that quickly earned widespread renown. So much so that in 1822, on a state visit to Scotland, King George IV asked to try a dram of the infamous Glenlivet whisky.

Famous for becoming the first officially-licensed distillery in Scotland, Glenlivet continues to create innovative and inspiring single malts today that continue George Smith’s pioneering vision. Equally at home in a tasting glass or a cocktail shaker, The Glenlivet retains all the charm and elegance that put it on the map two centuries ago.
