Well-known as the oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, for many years ‘Glenlivet’ was a byword for quality, with many single malts using the Glenlivet suffix in attempt to reap the benefits of associating themselves with the Banffshire distillery. Indeed, owners Pernod-Ricard now put a heavy focus on the brand being ‘The Glenlivet’, encouraging their consumers not to accept any imitations. Glenlivet is in a long-running battle with Glenfiddich for the title of best-selling single malt, with both now selling over a million cases a year.

This 15 year old release of Glenlivet, matured in French Limousin Oak casks. Limousin Oak is very commonly used for the maturation of Cognac.

This was launched as part of a new core range in 2004 and replaced a 12 year old age-statement of the same maturation.
