Scotch Whisky is a distilled alcoholic beverage produced in Scotland. Its taste is renowned for its complexity, which varies significantly depending on the region of production and the ageing process. The origin of Scotch Whisky production dates back to at least the 15th century, with early records indicating distillation by monks. Over time, the process evolved, and regulations were established to ensure quality and authenticity.
Common flavour profiles include: Smoky/Peaty: From the use of peat-smoked barley during the malting process. Fruity: Notes of apple, pear, and dried fruits, Spicy: Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper and Sweet: Undertones of honey, caramel, and vanilla, derived from oak cask ageing.
In contrast to the traditional, non-peated character of the Glendronach, this particular whisky has, unusually, been distilled using peated malted barley. The Glendronach ‘Peated’ pays homage to the peat historically used to dry the malted barley in the traditional floor matlings during the early days of the distillery. The subtle peated notes in this intriguing expression complement the classic Glendronach Highland character and the rich sherry notes drawn from the wood.
To create whisky with a tropical feel, our makers finished a portion of our smooth whisky in barrels that previously held Caribbean rum. The result is a well balanced and exceptionally smooth whisky. Single malt, meet summer.
Boasting the classic flavours of The Glenlivet bound up in a creamy, smooth texture, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve single malt whisky is our tribute to the man who started it all. When George Smith began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements and he selected whisky from casks of a range of ages.
