A Whisky inspired by Captain William Smith, a Great Grandson of the Founder George Smith.

In 1824, George Smith established his distillery in the remote and wild valley of Glenlivet.
Eversince, his smooth flowing whisky has been regarded as the definitive Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The Glenlivet is claiming to be the ‘first major single malt finished in Cognac casks’.

Based on some other reviewer, this will sit above Glenlivet 15 Year Old in the range.
