Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Distilled in the Summer of Love and matured for over forty‐five years in a small parcel of refill Sherry-seasoned hogsheads, this venerable malt was selected by G&M to carry the historic “George & J.G. Smith, Glenlivet” label. Bottled at a contemplative 43 % ABV (non-chill-filtered* and natural in colour), it reveals layers of honeyed orchard fruit, polished oak and gentle rancio spice—an evocative snapshot of 1960s Glenlivet craftsmanship.
Why We Think You’ll Love It
