Italy's Campari seals whisky deal". BBC News Online. BBC. 23 December 2005 . Retrieved 1 October 2007.George Smith died in 1871 and his son John Gordon Smith inherited the distillery. The quality of the product from their distillery had resulted in the other distilleries in the area renaming their products to "Glenlivet" and by the time of George's death, several distillers were doing so. J.G. Smith decided to take legal action and tried to claim ownership on The Glenlivet name, this legal action was only partially successful - the verdict forced other distillers in the area to stop calling their whisky Glenlivet and gave J.G. Smith and the blender Andrew Usher sole permission to use the brand, but permitted other distilleries to hyphenate their distillery name with the "Glenlivet" name, which resulted in new distillery names such as The Glen Moray-Glenlivet Distillery, a distillery which is situated nearby.

Glenlivet Small Batch Details

If the Glenlivet Distiller’s Reserve was more readily available, and not carrying a TR price, I’d recommend it to new Scotch drinkers. But as it sits it’s something I’d recommend trying a pour of when you’re traveling abroad and, in the meantime, I’ll keep recommending the Glenfiddich 15 which is slightly better, ~33% cheaper and readily available. On the palate this whisky is immediately soft and fudge-like with further overtones of toffee and chewy caramel sweets. These sweet notes combine well with the green fruit from the nose, although the apple and pear now feel more stewed or cooked rather than fresh and crisp. Further notes of heather honey and golden syrup add some depth, along with hints of vanilla and sultana. Warming baking spices then begin to impose themselves - think of cinnamon, all-spice and clove in particular. Late hits of white pepper and candied orange peel round things off.
