TheGlenlivet18YearOld(700mL)

<p>One of the most prestigious expressions of the Speyside craft.</p><p>In 1824, <em>George Smith</em> made a daring move and got a license to legally produce single malt whisky. Needless to say the neighbouring smugglers weren’t all too happy about it, so for protection he had to carry not one, but <em>two guns</em> at all times. Imagine that. </p><p>The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is distilled in the “Livet” district, Speyside, twice in copper stills and then finished through a combination of <em>first- and second-fill American oak casks </em>and <em>ex-Sherry oak casks</em>. <em>Tropical fruits</em> from American oak mingle with a<em> spicy complexity</em> from Sherry oak for a fragrant, elegant and complex expression that is absolutely delectable! </p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>1) In the past Glenlivet was used to name the “terroir” in the Speyside region. So it’s possible to find bottles of Macallan-Glenlivet, Balvenie-Glenlivet, etc.2) Glenlivet stills are lantern shaped with long, narrow necks, all of which helps produce a light tasting spirit.</em> </p>
