Description

One of the best-known names in Speyside, the distillery was founded in 1859 by George Smith and remained family-owned until the 1970s when acquired by Seagram. It is today the crown jewel of the Pernod Ricard portfolio and one of the best-selling single malt brands globally. This is an older style Glenlivet produced in the 1970s, noted for its distinct dried, buttery, mineral, grassy, and lemony profile with touches of wildflowers, dried herbs, and lighter green fruits.
