Whisky: A Kaleidoscopic Spectrum of Spirit
GLENLIVET 12 YEAR OLD AND FOUNDER'S RESERVE
GLENLIVET 12 YEAR OLD AND FOUNDER'S RESERVE
Single malts.
One of the very first distilleries in Scotland to be granted an official licence, after the passing of the licencing act in 1823, Glenlivet distillery has become synonymous with Speyside whisky. So much so, that at one point 28 other distilleries in the area adopted “Glenlivet” as a suffix to their own brand in order to piggyback on the reputation Glenlivet had built for itself. Although that practise has fallen by the wayside in recent years some independent bottlers still use it.
The Glenlivet brand is now one of the most recognisable in the world, and despite the distillery undergoing an expansion and upgrade (beginning) in 2010, their iconic 12-Year-Old expression still had to be discontinued for a few years before production was able to catch up with demand.
This lot provides an ideal opportunity to compare and contrast Glenlivet's NAS Founder's Reserve with the 12 Year Old it was originally replaced.
