The Single Malt That Started It All

The Glenlivet holds a unique place in Scotch whisky history it was the first distillery to be legally licensed in the Highlands in 1824, setting the standard for what Speyside single malt could be. Nearly two centuries later, it remains the world’s best-selling Speyside single malt, and the 12 Year Old is the expression that built that reputation. Matured in a combination of American bourbon-seasoned oak and European oak casks, and drawing on the mineral-rich waters of Josie’s Well, this is the whisky that defined the Speyside style: smooth, fruity, and effortlessly elegant.
