Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak
Single Malt
The Glenlivet // Speyside, Scotland
At the time of its founding in 1824 by George Smith, illicit distillation was common in the Livet Valley. Later, other whisky makers were capitalizing on the "Glenlivet" name so the founder's son, J.G. Smith, fought successfully to have the name changed to "The Glenlivet.
" The flagship single malt bottling of The Glenlivet is aged in European oak followed by American oak for a minimum of 12 years in total. In 2019, the brand added "Double Oak" to the 12 year-old bottling. It's the same classic whisky as before. .

Tasting Notes
"There are times that you want an über complex, confounding, whisky to consume. And sometimes you just want a drink. The Glenlivet has pleasant aromas of toasted cereal, pears, and honey. The finish has more honey and vanilla but the whisky doesn't stay with you for the long haul. And that's okay. "
