The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve
The Glenlivet
/Whisky
Single MaltThe Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whiskey that came out of the original copper stills. It is made by selecting whiskey from a variety of traditional aged oak barrels. Then, to give it a modern touch, a selection of aged oak barrels and American oak barrels are combined. The use of these barrels provides a smooth and creamy sweetness that blends harmoniously with the delicate flavors and complex fruity tones already present in whiskey.

The remote and isolated Livet valley made it ideal for illicit distillation. This is where our founder George Smith learned his craft. Hidden away from the Customs Officers and soldiers amongst the hills and abundant springs, George had time to distil slowly making a whisky that would soon become world renowned. In August 1822, King George IV arrived in Scotland for a state visit and asked to try a drop of the infamous Glenlivet whisky. An illegal dram it was, but even that didn’t stop the King.
