THE GLENLIVET DISTILLERY

The Glenlivet is the first licensed distillery in Scotland. The date on each bottle of The Glenlivet is 1824 which is the year in which The Glenlivet became legal and not when The Glenlivet started distilling. King George IV ordered The Glenlivet in 1822 during his visit to the Edinburgh festival. The Glenlivet 12 year old is the largest selling 12 year old single malt whisky in the world today



The series of videos in this post covers the standard The Glenlivet expressions: 12 year old, 15 year old french oak finish, 16 year old Nadurra aged in bourbon cask, 18 year old aged in bourbon and sherry cask with the sherry cask dominating, 21 year old Archive to good to be true and finally the 25 year old.

The Glenlivet 12 year old
This is the worlds leading 12 year old single malt Scotch whiskey



The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Finish
The Glenlivet 15 year old is finish in French Oak Casks






The Glenlivet 16 Year Old Nadurra
Nadurra in Gaelic means Natural that refers to the fact that The Glenlivet 16 year old Nadurra is Unchill Filtered and has not had any watyer added between cask and bottle - hence cask strength.





The Glenlivet 18 Year Old
This is a firm favourite with most people I know and is one of my absolute favourites.




The Glenlivet 21 Year Old Archive
The Archive has even more sherry cask finish than the 18 year old The Glenlivet and is higher on my preferance list for this reason.



The Glenlivet 25 Year Old
Again higher Sherry cask use but even older making this an incrdible smooth single malt Scotch whisky
