The Glenlivet 25 Year Old XXV
Presented in a premium wooden case with clean, contemporary styling, The Glenlivet 25 Year Old XXV stands as the oldest expression in Glenlivet’s core range. This refined single malt undergoes final maturation in hand-selected first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, which lend a graceful depth of flavour and subtle richness to the whisky’s naturally elegant character.
Glenlivet Distillery
The Glenlivet Distillery was founded in 1824 by George Smith in the remote and rugged Livet Valley, an ideal location for illicit distillation at the time. As the first licensed distillery in the region, The Glenlivet quickly established a reputation for smooth, floral whisky and became the benchmark for Speyside malts. In 1884, following a legal battle over naming rights, it secured the right to be called “The Glenlivet,” distinguishing itself as the original. Today, the distillery continues George Smith’s legacy by pushing boundaries with innovative cask selections and a commitment to quality.
