Glenlivet
Scotland, UK
George Smith built his distillery close to Josie’s Well, a natural spring that bubbles out of the dark earth of Glenlivet.
Fed by winter snows and rain, the pure mountain water makes its underground journey to the spring through mineral-rich layers of limestone and granite. Thousands of gallons of this priceless resource flow from Josie’s Well each day.
The glen’s natural resources, unchanging and inexhaustible, help make The Glenlivet what it is. An incomparable malt whisky.

French Oak 15 Year Old
French Oak 15 Year Old
The 15 Year Old’s distinctive character is the result of selective maturation; a proportion of the spirit is matured in a selection of French Oak casks for a limited period, so as not to overpower the final result.
The Glenlivet was one of the first distilleries to use French Oak in the whisky making process, a technique that has since been imitated by many others.
Limousin Oak, which is cut in the Dordogne region of France, is often used to mature fine wines and cognacs. In the case of The Glenlivet, its low density allows the spirit to penetrate deep into the wood, imparting the expression’s distinctive spiciness.
The French Oak also increases the intensity of the whisky, resulting in a richer and creamier finish.

Founder's Reserve
Cask: Traditional oak and American first-fill Flavour: Creamy sweetness and zesty fruits Boasting the classic flavours of The Glenlivet bound up in a creamy, smooth texture, this expression is our tribute to the one who started it all. George Smith, our founder, was a trailblazer with an irrepressible spirit. In creating a whisky in his honour we were understandably keen to do him justice. The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that he first envisioned in 1824 and for which we are still renowned today. And because we remain as dedicated to innovation as our founder ever was, we’ve given this classic single malt a contemporary twist.
