The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, matured in American oak casks and bottled at 40% ABV. Created by former Master Distiller Alan Winchester as a tribute to founder George Smith's original vision, it offers notes of dried fruit, honey, toffee, malt, and vanilla with a smooth, approachable character.
