THE VALLEY

The remote and isolated Live 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.

The Glenlivet

OUR STORY

THE RARE OLD GLENLIVET

Our reputation spread beyond the green hills of Scotland to the Smoky skies of London. When Charles Dickens
wrote to his friend urging him to try the "rare old Glenlivet", he was recommending a single malt that went beyond his great expectations.

OUR STORY

THE INNOVATOR

Almost 200 years since our distillery doors opened, we crafted something new to celebrate: The Glenlivet Founders Reserve. Created by Master Distiller Alan Winchester, this fine liquid captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that George Smith first envisioned in 1824, and went on to be amass highest sales volume of any neu Scotch product launched in the last five years (IWSR,
2016).
