A bucket list dram.

When you describe your Whisky as the "Single Malt that started it all" then you better be able to back it up. Luckily Glenlivet have been doing so since 1824, having only closed once during World War II. As the leading Single Malt vendor in the United States and second biggest globally, it’s safe to say their iconic smooth flavor has continued to attract Whisky drinkers for centuries. Having stayed true to their slow distillation process for smooth tasting Scotch, Glenlivet now produce almost 6 million liters of Malt Whisky every year and show no signs of slowing down.

With this expression however you are not just getting any old liter from the Glenlivet production. This is truly a top-shelf malt. Every drop of this 21 year-old has been matured in hand selected American and European casks of the finest quality. If you enjoy the classy Speyside flavors of Single Malts then look no further for a real treat of a Scotch that is worth every single penny. A smart castaway stranded on an island with 3 items would select a bottle of this Whisky. A genius would select 3 bottles.

Character Dogson
The USA is buying half of the bottles from The Glenlivet Distillery, which are single malts.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Bottles from 1970s and 1980s having the Glenlivet name on them, are not always from The Glenlivet Distillery, it could possibly only be referring to the area.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
In Holland, The Glenlivet has adopted the slogan 'Discover the single malt that started it all'.
