Aged for several years in ex bourbon casks, ex sherry casks and Japanese Mizunara casks from the Hokkaido and Tohuku forests, this whisky carries a rich profile of cereals and dried fruit, with accents of smoke and honey on the finish. Composed of 100% malt whiskies and blended from 5 to 6-year-old single malt, it is only produced in small batches of less than 20 casks. This whisky is never coloured or unchill-filtered.

This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world- deservedly so.” Representing The Glenlivet's signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it's distinctive smoothness. The mineral-rich water that comes from Josie's Well helps form the flavours during mashing and fermentation, whilst the specific height and width of the copper stills add a delicate yet complex character. Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion.
