GLENLIVET

SPEYSIDE

George Smith (of George & JG Smith) was the first distiller in the Glen to produce legal whisky on a large scale, a choice which forced Smith to arm himself against the threat of attack from the illicit distillers in the region. A second challenge came in the form of the neighbouring whisky producers in the Glen (and outside the Glen) when they attempted to use the Glenlivet name to market their own whisky. With the courts on his side, Smith forced his neighbours to relinquish the name and today Glenlivet remains one of the most renowned whiskies in the world.

As the best selling Scotch in the United States, Glenlivet enjoys a huge support for its whisky. A huge range of bottlings have appeared at auction and the choice for collectors is wide.
