The Story

About The Glenlivet 12 Year Old First Fill Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This expression is a limited-edition release that differs from their regular 12-year-old offering. Instead of a mixture of cask types, this one has spent its dozen years in first-fill American oak exclusively. The resulting spirit is smooth and creamy with wood, vanilla, cereal, nutty, and spice notes. It marks the first time that the First Fill was released in the US.

About The Glenlivet

During the early 19th century, illegal distilleries were commonplace throughout the Speyside region of Scotland. In 1823, however, Alexander Gordon pushed the Excise Act of 1823 through Parliament. The Excise Act allowed illegal distillers throughout Scotland to apply for and obtain licenses to legally distill spirits. In 1824, a businessman named George Smith applied for one of the first licenses in the Speyside region of Scotland and opened the doors to The Glenlivet Distillery. For nearly two centuries, The Glenlivet Distillery has been producing the “single malt whisky that started it all.”

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with vanilla and woody aromas, along with a touch of nuttiness and floral notes. It's smooth and creamy on the palate with cereal, vanilla, fruit, and a touch of spice. The finish is oaky and nutty with hints of spice.
