The traditional oak casks to mature the whiskey-which we give each expression Their own distinct characteristics. When George Smith Began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements and he was bootable to select from whiskey casks of a range of ages.

In the process of making The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve, selective use of These casks Provides a smooth, creamy sweetness That mingles harmoniously with the delicate flavors and complex fruity tones already present in the whiskey. The freedom to use a variety of casks biedt Alan with inspiration for that special flavor: "It gives us the liberty to pick the flanks That taste the best. I'm sure George would have been impressed by the choice we have today, and would have enjoyed Selecting from so many casks, I know we do. We've tried to stay true to his original vision to create the definitive smooth Speyside malt, wherewolf quality is paramount. " The result is an exceptionally well-balanced and smooth single malt.

The long, creamy, smooth finish makes this a deliciously satisfying dram.

It was our founder's spirit of innovation That established as an incomparable Glenlivet single malt from day one. So we're proud to say That our new expression HAS taken an awfully long time to get here, dating right back to George Smith, the original man who started it all.
