The Glenlivet - Whiskey whiskey

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 . The popularity of his distillate, also appreciated by Charles Dickens, grew to such an extent that in 1884 the company, in order to make itself recognizable by competitors who had begun to use the toponym "Glenlivet", had the happy intuition of adding the article. "The" in front of your name . Thus the motto "The Glenlivet, THE Whiskey" was coined, which would have identified its Single Malts in the collective imagination as the whiskey par excellence .

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.
