The delicate and complex character of the 12-year-old derives from the height and width of stills at The Glenlivet Distillery. This expression is matured in a mixture of cask types, including American and European Oak. Maturation in American oak imparts vanilla notes and gives the whisky its distinct smoothness. The mineral-rich water from Josie's Well ensures the best possible results during mashing and fermenting to form the flavors that define this expression.
