Cocktail recipes: Smooth and fruity, a pineapple-based cocktail is a great way to complement The Glenlivet’s unique notes. By the 20th century the vast majority of the distillery’s production was going for fillings but in the 1970s Glenlivet once again began to market itself as a single malt, especially in the lucrative US market.When mixing into cocktails, it’s important to let the unique qualities of the spirit take control, which means choosing one flavor profile and sticking to it. The Glenlivet uses its unique freshwater drawn from Josie’s Well, adding an extra special Scottish touch to its distillation process. Glenlivet made a different style of whisky to that which was current in the region, producing a lighter fruitier new make, something that has continued to this day. The whisky was such a success that he built another distillery in 1850 at Delnabo which never really functioned properly due to problems with the water supply. To help preserve his brand, George Smith’s son, John Gordon Smith, applied for sole rights to the name, which were granted in 1884 but allowed other producers to hyphenate it with their own names eg.

Glenlivet is one of the most popular scotch brands in the world; renowned for its round, sweet and smooth notes. Made with water from the crystal-clear mountain streams, the Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whisky that first ran from the original copper pot stills. To make, shake all ingredients together with cubed ice before straining over more ice in a rocks glass. To say The Glenlivet was ahead of the game in the world of scotch whiskey doesn’t really do this spirit justice.But behind the mass market consumer success lies a distillery with a colourful story and a fine tradition for more exclusive malt whiskies.
