Glenlivet 12 year old

Double Oak

Refined and timeless, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Double Oak showcases the house style of this historic distillery, established in 1824. This Highland single malt scotch whisky is matured in a combination of traditional European oak and American oak casks. The dual cask ageing process creates a delicate balance of smooth vanilla, ripe fruit, and soft spice. On the nose, floral and fruity notes unfold with red apples, milk chocolate orange, and subtle oak spice. The palate is rich and inviting, offering flavours of banana, juicy apricot, toffee apple and pineapple, all gently wrapped in creamy vanilla and a hint of warming nutmeg. The finish is long, mellow and elegantly layered. Crafted using mineral-rich spring water from Josie’s Well and distilled in uniquely shaped copper stills, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old expresses a smooth and approachable profile that remains complex and characterful.

The Distillery

In 1824, this distillery was the first to obtain an official licence to legally distil whisky and it took the name of Glenlivet. To defend his distillery from illegal distillers, George Smith was offered a pair of pistols by the Earl of Aberlour. Being able to distil without fearing the authorities allowed for a more consistent production. A partnership with Andrew Usher, who is credited with the art of blending, helped the distillery’s fame grow. Indeed, Andrew Usher blended different Glenlivet casks to obtain a whisky whose quality was vastly superior to the production of the time. It was the first Vatted Malt or Blending Malt. In 1880, the distillery was granted the unique right to call itself "The Glenlivet". Other distilleries added Glenlivet to their name to benefit from its aura. Nowadays, the distillery belongs to the Pernod-Ricard group and is the biggest, with a pure alcohol production of 21,000,000 litres. It is used in the different "Blend" whiskies of the group, especially Chivas Regal.
