The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Licensed Dram - The Original Stories
The Glenlivet
Tasting Notes
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Licensed Dram is a delightful Speyside whisky that pays homage to the distillery's founder, George Smith, who played a pivotal role in the legalization of Scotch whisky production. This expression is a harmonious blend of apricot and summer fruit aromas, drizzled with honey and a sprinkle of spice. On the palate, the honeyed sweetness dances alongside buttery oak and creamy vanilla, while nutty malt forms the core. The finish is a warm embrace of cinnamon, a hint of ginger, and anise, with rich caramel lingering pleasantly. Matured for 12 years in a combination of American and European oak casks, this whisky is a testament to the resilience and innovation of George Smith, who dared to transition from illicit to legal distilling. Each sip is a journey through the rich history of The Glenlivet, a whisky that has withstood the test of time and continues to captivate whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
