The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Where It All Began

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a tribute to George Smith — the man who, in 1824, became the first distiller to legally register his distillery under the Excise Act, forever changing the course of Scotch whisky history. Crafted using the same soft spring water and traditional copper pot stills that Smith used nearly two centuries ago, Founder's Reserve is a whisky that honours the past while remaining perfectly suited to the present. Finished in first-fill American oak casks, it delivers the distillery's signature fresh, fruity elegance in its most approachable and versatile form.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh and inviting — ripe peach, citrus blossom, and vanilla cream with a gentle hint of toasted oak and the distillery's characteristic floral sweetness
• Palate: Smooth and well-rounded — ripe stone fruit, creamy toffee, and a gentle warming spice with a clean, approachable mouthfeel that makes this an ideal everyday dram
• Finish: Clean and medium-length with lingering fruit, vanilla, and a soft oak warmth
