Description
Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve Single Malt Whisky 750ml
- WHY: Glenlivet’s Founder’s Reserve stands tall in the incredibly small group of high-quality single malt whiskies priced at $30 or less. For the money, there’s almost nothing with this much texture, sweetness, creamy malt character, and weight on the palate.
- HOW: For the Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve a skillful selection of casks is complemented by selective use of American first-fill casks to give a hint of creamy sweetness, creating an exceptionally well-balanced and smooth malt.
- WHAT: Originally founded in 1824, Glenlivet was purchased by Pernod-Ricard from Seagram’s in 2001, as part of a deal for Chivas Brothers and all of the distilleries associated with the blended whisky. It sits in the Speyside region of Scotland and is currently the country’s largest single malt distillery. Despite its growing size, the distillery’s fourteen pairs of pot stills are continuously churning out some of the most consistent and tasty malt whisky in the world. That scale allows Glenlivet to offer more competitive pricing for such a high quality product. Bottled at 40% ABV.
