The Glenlivet The Sample Room Collection 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A Quarter-Century of Flavor

The Glenlivet The Sample Room Collection 25 Year Old is a masterpiece of maturation. Finished in first-fill Pedro Ximénez Sherry and Tronçais Oak Cognac casks, this whisky is a symphony of flavors. With an ABV of 43%, it boasts notes of sweet fig, blood orange, warming ginger, toasted oak, and a whisper of charred pineapple. This expression is a testament to The Glenlivet's dedication to crafting whiskies that are both timeless and innovative.

George Smith was running an illegal still on the estate of the Duke of Gordon in the wee early 1800’s. The good old Duke ... ahem ... may or may not have been aware of the illicit operation in exchange for a personal supply. When the Duke helped sponsor legislation in 1823 that made Whiskey distilling legal in the UK, it just so happens that George Smith was the first one granted a license. Now legal and above board, he naturally named his “new” business after the local parish—Glenlivet.

Today Glenlivet is one of the “Big Three” single malt producers, being #1 in the United States and #2 worldwide. Their Whiskies are officially “Speyside,” meaning that they are Highland malts produced along the river Spey, and the water for the Whisky mash comes somewhat famously from “Josie’s Well.”

Glenlivet produces Whiskies in a variety of ages and wood-matured combinations, and the remaining Spirit not bottled as part of their Glenlivet lineup is considered an indispensable component in some of the most famous blends.
