The remote and isolated Livet valley was the ideal place to start an illegal distillation activity. It is here, in the hills of Speyside , that George Smith, far from the tax collectors, and surrounded by sources of pure water, refined his art of distiller to create a whiskey that would become famous all over the world .

Wine Enthusiast) and 25 years, "The Founder's Reserve" ( 96 pt.) , A soft and fruity No Age Statement aimed at recreating the taste of the first distillations of George Smith, who in a few years has become one of the most successful labels ever.
