Distillery/Bottler: The Glenlivet Distillery was founded in 1824 and was the first distillery in Speyside to receive an official license to distill. Famous for its traditionally crafted whiskies, the Glenlivet Distillery selectively uses first-fill American oak casks for the Founder's Reserve, which have never been used for Scottish whisky before. The distillate consists of pure malted barley, contributing to the quality of the product.
