The story
The Glenlivet originates in the Livet Valley, Speyside: George Smith obtained the first legal licence to distil in the parish of Glenlivet in 1824. During the 19th century the name was protected and consolidated (registration of the name and defence of the product's identity). In the 20th century the brand expanded internationally; today production and brand management are handled within Chivas Brothers, part of the spirits sector. In recent years The Glenlivet has launched experimental collections (Sample Room Collection) and expanded its lineup and finishing practices.
Distillation
Distillation in copper pot stills; a declared multi-stage production process (malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation).
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks with practices of selective finishing and ageing in various barrel types to achieve distinct aromatic profiles.
