FAQs

What makes French oak special for Scotch?
French Limousin oak is tighter grained than American oak and imparts earthy, spiced, and subtly sweet notes reminiscent of Cognac maturation — producing a uniquely complex and aromatic character in Speyside single malt.

Is The Glenlivet really Scotland's oldest legal distillery?
Yes — founded in 1824 as the first distillery to be licensed under the Excise Act, The Glenlivet holds a unique place in Scotch whisky history as the original legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet.

How should I drink it?
Neat or with a splash of water to open up the apple and spice notes — also excellent in sweet mixed drinks where the French oak character adds distinctive depth.
