History
The Glenlivet distillery, located in the Speyside region of Scotland, has been producing whisky since 18243. It was the first distillery in the area to receive a license following the 1823 Excise Act, which aimed to curb illicit distillation. The Glenlivet is known as one of the “big three” distilleries from Speyside and has a reputation for producing high-quality single malt Scotch whisky.
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old was introduced as part of the distillery’s commitment to innovation and quality. The use of cognac casks for finishing adds a unique twist to the classic Speyside profile, enhancing the whisky’s complexity and richness.
