Nose: Rich fruitcake, old cognac, walnut shells, and a flash of orange peel. There’s dark honey and hints of clove-studded ham lurking underneath.

Palate: Dark chocolate, roasted figs, dates in syrup, and spiced plum chutney all collide in a thick, velvety mouthfeel.

Finish: Leather, nutmeg, bitter cocoa, and sweet pipe tobacco.

Distillery Information

The Glenlivet rather grandly styles itself as the single malt that started it all but theres more than a grain of truth to its claim. In the early 18th and 19th century most Highland malt whisky was distilled illegally. Despite its shady beginnings, Glenlivet had a reputation that reached as far as London. Indeed when George IV visited the region in 1822, he wanted to try the fabled Glenlivet and was given something that was described as whisky long in wood, long in uncorked bottles, mild as milk, and the true contraband gout in it. The man behind that famed dram was George Smith, a tenant farmer on land belonging to Alexander Gordon, Duke of Gordon. The Duke, not surprisingly, was a great advocate for reforming the draconian legislation around distilling so that he could commercialise it. 1823 saw the passing of the Excise Act which liberalised distilling but also provided more resources and power to excise officers. One of the first people to take advantage of the new laws was George Smith who built a new distillery at Glenlivet in the Highlands on what was once a farm distillery called Upper Drummin.
