The Glenlivet Founders Reserve is a Scotch whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland. Using a method by founder George Smith, the whisky is matured in a selection of traditional and American first-fill oak casks. It is then combined with American first-fill oak barrels, which have never been used to mature whisky before. Selective use of these casks gives this single malt a well-balanced sweet and smooth taste. Its flavour is sprinkled with citrus fruity tones, complementing its pale gold colour.
