THE DISTILLERY
Located in the most remote area of the Highlands, with the Cairngorm mountain range to the south and Ben Rinnes to the north, the The Glenlivet distillery is situated in a wild and isolated region; however, the countless natural resources, crystal-clear waters, and peat make it a perfect area for producing high-quality whisky. The Glenlivet was founded by George Smith, and it is said that King George V, during an official visit to Scotland in 1822, specifically requested a taste of his already famous whisky, even though it was still illegal at the time. George Smith obtained the license to produce whisky only in 1824, and The Glenlivet thus became the first distillery in the area to emerge from illegality. Over the years, the The Glenlivet distillery, thanks to its excellent product, easily expanded and its sales only increased, producing, by 1871, as much as 18,000 liters of whisky per week. In 1933, with the end of Prohibition, the The Glenlivet distillery was certainly the most equipped to meet the growing demand from the United States, and easily, by 1950, it occupied 50% of the entire U.S. market for Single Malts; it was during these years that actor Robert Taylor wrote to the distillery to obtain a case of whisky for the set of Quo Vadis. Today, after centuries of history, the The Glenlivet distillery operates, in total, with 14 stills, faithful in shape and size to those originally designed by George Smith, uses exclusively water from the Josie's Well stream, selects barley from the fields of Banffshire, and still uses wooden fermentation tubs instead of steel ones. It is no coincidence that the Single Malt Whisky from The Glenlivet is currently the second best-selling in the world.
