Description
After the barley has been fermented, it is distilled twice first through The Glenlivets wash still, and then again through The Glenlivets spirits still. Originally designed by George Smith, the copper-pot stills have a unique, lantern-like shape, which encourages contact between the whisky and the copper. The copper strips the whisky of any impurities it may have, and provides for a lighter and more pure flavor profile.The Glenlivet Founders Reserve is a tribute to George Smiths original vision to craft the definitive, smooth Speyside malt whisky. Crafted by current master distiller Alan Winchester, the whisky has been aged predominantly in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks.As a result, The Glenlivet Founders Reserve has a pale gold color with bright notes of blood orange and burnt sugar on the nose. The palate transitions to flavors of pear, rock candy and caramel apples before finishing with notes of toffee, peanuts and honey. Easygoing yet full of flavor, The Glenlivet Founders Reserve is sure to be equally delicious for both connoisseurs and those just discovering whisky.Pick up a bottle today!
