Glenlivet 12 Years Illicit Still

Glenlivet Illicit is an hommage to the original style of production by George Smith. The founder of Glenlivet began in 1824 with the production of his soon world-famous Single Malt in the remote valley of Livet. Back then he didn't have a licence, which is why the bottling is called 'Illicit Still'. Today, Glenlivet is one of the biggest and most important Whisky producers.
