Glenlivet
Nestled in the Livet Valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet Distillery, founded in 1824 by George Smith. Smith, a farmer and illicit distiller, was the first to obtain a legal license to produce whisky in the Glenlivet valley. This bold move initially faced opposition from other illegal distillers, forcing Smith to carry pistols for protection.
Known for its smooth, fruity character, the distillery's signature 12-year-old expression is a global favorite. The Glenlivet's innovative cask finishes and limited editions have earned numerous awards, including multiple Double Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. With its rich history and commitment to quality, The Glenlivet continues to define the Speyside style.
In 1858, Smith's son John Gordon Smith took over the business, expanding production and establishing The Glenlivet as a reputable brand. The distillery faced challenges during Prohibition and World War II but persevered. In 1953, The Glenlivet merged with Glen Grant Distillers Ltd., forming The Glenlivet Distillers Ltd.
Seagram's acquired the company in 1977, initiating a period of significant growth. In 2001, Pernod Ricard took ownership, further expanding the brand's global reach. The distillery underwent major renovations in 2018, doubling its production capacity while maintaining traditional methods.
Throughout its history, The Glenlivet has been known for innovation, introducing new expressions and cask finishes. Interestingly, the distillery's water source, Josie's Well, has remained unchanged since its founding, contributing to the whisky's consistent character. Today, The Glenlivet continues to be a leading single malt Scotch whisky, balancing tradition with modern techniques to maintain its esteemed reputation.
