Thanks to trains, planes, and automobiles, the middle of the century saw The Glenlivet account for half of the Scottish malt whisky sold in the US. Thanks to new jet-setters of the 50’s, word soon spread to all corners of the world.
– The Glenlivet Distillery Story
Infamous Distillery:
Beginning his endeavor in 1824, founder George Smith set out to start cementing his name in the Scotch industry. Over 200 years old The Glenlivet Distillery slowly became one of Scotland’s most infamous scotches inspiring many masters over the years. Having been passed down from generation to generation & surviving the Prohibition, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Scotch has become the go-to scotch of the world.
