For nearly 200 years the legendary whisky of Glenlivet has been prized, celebrated and fought over. But there is only one whisky with the unchallengeable right to be called: The Glenlivet, the single malt that started it all. The Glenlivet was the very first malt to be promoted in the United States as soon as Prohibition was lifted in America, George Smith’s great-grandson went there to promote his whisky, the first single malt ever seen in the U.S. Light or pale gold. Aromatic, with flowers. Clean and simple, with some maltiness. Sherry notes, some spice and vanilla. Medium, smooth and firm. Subtle peatiness. Delicate. Slightly sweet and fruity, with vanilla notes. Clean and well-balanced. Long, but mild and warming. A trace of peat at the end.
