The Glenlivet is perhaps the best known of all the Scotch single malts. Its founder, George Smith, with the encouragement of the Duke of Gordon, was the first to apply for a legal distilling license in 1824. George Smith was going against popular sentiment at the time in doing so, but his foresight to see the economic opportunities of legal distilling would give The Glenlivet a "head start" on all the competition that is yet to be overcome. It would be his "true grit" and a pair of hair-trigger pistols given to him by the laird of Aberlour that would ensure his perserverance

| "The", the article, distinguishes official bottlings by the distillery, currently owned by Seagrams, from those of the independent merchant bottlers. Arguably the best known single malt in the world. Rated 90 Malt Advocate Antique, amber color. This whisky maintains the elegance cherished by Glenlivet enthusiasts, but finishing the shisky in limousin oak produces a whisky of deeper wood notes, particularly wood spices ( vanilla, sandalwood, perhaps even mint) and floral notes. It's rich complex, and dry -especially on the finish |

| Longmorn distillery is found between Glen of Rothes and Elgin. Its name is derived from the Gaelic, Lhanmorgund, which means "place of the holy man". This is a reference to the church which once stood there. Prior to the distillery being built in 1895 by James Duff, there had also been a grain mill on the site. R.J.S. McDowell actually considered Longmorn to be one of the top four malt whiskies. Tasting note: Longmorn Glenlivet 12yo Colour: Light golden. Nose: Starting woody, with a build up reminiscent of boiled sweets. Body: Medium and rounded. Palate: Initially sweet followed by rounded smokiness. Finish: Very quick yet well balanced. |
