The Glenlivet is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky brand founded by George Smith in 1824 — among the first licensed distilleries in Scotland after the Excise Act. Today under Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard), the house is known for smooth, fruity Speyside character; the 12 Year Old remains the flagship double-oak expression that defines the brand worldwide.
