About this SPIRIT
Glenlivet Distillery Speyside
The Glenlivet Distillery has been founded by George Smith, while his son John Gordon Smith assisted and succeeded him has a long-established reputation for making subtle, elegant and flowery Malt Whisky.
This famous Speyside distillery by the glen of Livet, which flows in to the mighty river Spey, was the first licensed operation in Scotland when the legal production of whisky was first introduced in 1823.
The company remained independent until 1935, merged with Glen Grant in 1952 and was acquired by Seagram in 1977, which was eventually succeeded by the Pernod-Ricard group in 2001.

Description
Berry Bros. & Rudd can trace its origins back to 1698 when the Widow Bourne founded her shop opposite St James’s Palace. Today, the present generation of Berrys and Rudds continue to manage the family-owned business from 3 St James’s Street.
Glenlivet, this fine Whisky produced by the Livet burn near the upper reaches of the river Spey is often characterised as being buttery, rounded and elegant. The distillery was the first licensed to distil legally in 1823 and Glenlivet Whisky became an early standard bearer of quality. This exceptional 37 year-old whisky has lush, fruity-sweet apricot and tangerine aromas. The oily, creamy engaging palate reveals chocolate orange, rum and raisins with warm spice emerging at the lingering finale.
