-//Established in 1824.// 
- 
-In 1824, George Smith established his distilleyr in the remote and //wild// location of Glenlivet. Here, he found the //perfect// conditions to craft the //definitive// single malt whisky. 
- 
-Through this //timeless// primeval valley run the //icy// waters of the river Livet. It's name, //"smooth flowing one"// in Gaelic, reflects the Glenlivet's beautiful //rich// and elegant flavours. 
- 
-==== 12 Years - First fill Single malt ====  
- 
-Matured only in first fill american oak casks, the Glenlivet 12 year old first fill has a perfect balance of late summer flowers and ripe fruit aromas. 
- 
-High up in the remote area of Glenlivet, George Smith was the first to produce a whisky of such //exceptional// quality that it went on to define the taste of Speyside. 
- 
-His definitive single malt //inspired// so many other distilleries to adopt the appellation "Glenlivet" that it became known as the "longest glen in Scotland". In 1884, a legal agreement was reached to distinguish Smith's original whisky by referring to it exclusively as "The Glenlivet".

 ==== Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky ==== ==== Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky ====
 +
 +The free flowing river Spey meanders its way from hill to coast, through some of Scotland's most picturesque scenery. But for whisky lovers, this beauty is merely a backdrop ; the real pleasure of the region comes from its whisky.
 +
 +With its sparkling clear waters, fertile farmland and mild climate, Speyside is a spiritual home for whisky making. McClelland's Speyside Single Malt is a fine example of the region ; vibrant, floral and unforgettable. From the majestic heartland of Speyside comes the elegant single malt ; at once soft and complex, vibrant and rich. A wonderful contradiction.

Wait a little longer and something deeper, more mysterious forces its way through : dark chocolate.| 
-| ::: |A wonderful contradiction.|+| ::: |Take a sip, roll the dram around your palate and the chocolate melts into sweet nougat and nutty nuances of Brazil and hazel. And there, all the while, floral top notes swinging and swaying like a wild summer meadow.|

 +==== Blended Scotch Whisky ====
 +
 +This recipe is an inspired recreation of an original bottling of Hankey Bannister Scotch Whisky, made between 1924 and 1928 and re-discovered, perfectly preserved. Our master blender has carefully recreated this antique liquid. This lost classic has a full, sweet flavour and a delicate hint of smoke. Undoubtedly a rare taste of history and a fine spirit of true character.
