Boasting the classic flavours of The Glenlivet, this whisky offers a creamy, smooth texture and a rich profile, replicating the freedom George Smith enjoyed when selecting whisky from a variety of casks without age statements. Created using a blend of traditional aged oak casks and American first-fill oak casks, this whisky offers a unique twist on a classic style. It is a reflection of the time-honoured distillation methods George Smith introduced and the legacy that continues today.
