Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak

The Glenlivet has a claim few distilleries can match: it was the first licensed distillery in Speyside, granted its licence in 1824 by George Smith, at a time when most local distilling was still done in secret. That pioneering spirit gave the region its name and its reputation.

The 12 Year Double Oak matures in traditional oak casks before finishing in American oak, producing a single malt that's bright and approachable — orchard fruit, vanilla, and a gentle floral lift, with a clean, smooth finish that's made it one of the most recognisable Speyside malts in the world.

A reliable, food-friendly dram — try it alongside soft cheeses or a simple fruit tart.
