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 flavours that define this expression.
