Portrait: What makes the Glenlivet 12 year old special

Welcome to the Glenlivet Valley, the place where not only the sheep feel at home, but also the whisky lovers. Deep in Speyside, the heart of the Scottish whisky world, lies the Glenlivet distillery - an institution since 1824 and probably older than your grandpa's favorite sweater.

Glenlivet isn't just any whisky. No, this is the kind you'd find sitting in the lounge, reading a good book, and pretending not to care about its legendary history. Yet it is the oldest licensed distillery in Speyside - with a history so venerable that other malts probably clink their glasses in awe when it passes by.

Here, they don't pour by the hectoliter, but work with patience and style. Tradition meets craftsmanship - for more than 200 years now. Glenlivet was "single malt" before that was cool.

Although the 12-year-old is the flagship of the brand, it remains pleasantly down-to-earth. No starry airs, no showmanship - just a true Scotsman with attitude.

In short: Glenlivet 12 year old is like a visit to the King - only with fewer rules and considerably more fun in the glass.

A classic Speyside whisky that impresses with its lightness, elegance, and accessibility. Ideal for beginners - and for experienced connoisseurs looking for a stylish dram for every day.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Glenlivet 12 year old tastes like

• Nose: Light, fresh, and very inviting - delicate aromas of green apples, honey, and pear first greet the nose, accompanied by floral notes and a hint of vanilla - a subtle malty sweetness elegantly rounds off the aroma.
• Palate: Smooth and balanced with a beautiful balance between fruitiness and mild sweetness - apple, citrus, and light honey notes characterize the first impression, followed by a soft malt character - subtle vanilla and wood notes can be detected in the background - unobtrusive, but present
• Finish: Medium-length and pleasantly soft - a subtle spiciness lingers, along with a hint of oak and sweet fruit - not a strong aftertaste, but a gentle, elegant finish
