Founder's Reserve - A new benchmark in single malt by The Glenlivet

With Founder's Reserve, The Glenlivet's perfectly-balanced and fruity house style is skilfully complemented with a creaminess and sweetness from the addition of First Fill American oak casks. The result is a single malt Scotch whisky of exceptional smoothness; the very quality for which George Smith's The Glenlivet was widely admired and appreciated for in his day.

This expression is presented in a clear glass bottle that draws attention to the quality of the pale gold whisky inside. The Georgian Blue carton is both classic and contemporary in style and features George Smith's signature, which provides stand-out appeal on shelf and honours Smith's original style of whisky. Inclusion of the new The Glenlivet signifier, featuring the Packhorse Bridge that crosses the River Livet, appears on both the bottle cartouche and on the lid of the carton, demonstrating the brand's rich provenance as 'the single malt that started it all'.

The Glenlivet has been the largest contributor to the growth in single malt over the last five years and we look forward to Founder's Reserve rolling out around the world, as its exceptional taste and link to the distillery's past are sure to help us continue our success over the next ten years and beyond.

Nikki Burgess, Global Brand Director for The Glenlivet

For me, the nose has delicate aromas of citrus fruit and the sweet palate imparts zesty orange and toffee notes alongside classic The Glenlivet pear flavours, which is followed by long, creamy and smooth finish. I'm really eager to hear what our fans old and new think about our latest interpretation of The Glenlivet through Founder's Reserve and look forward to tasting it with them at the distillery in the coming months.
