Glenlivet 1997 18 Year Old Old Particular
Lot number: 070-2767
Winning bid: £115
The Old Particular series from Douglas Laing includes hand-selected single malt and grain whiskies sourced over the length and breadth of Scotland. These malts are unchillfiltered and bottled straight from the cask without any colour added to the whisky.
The first distillery to take out a licence after the Excise Act of 1823, the distillery was a favourite of King George IV who demanded nothing but Glenlivet during a visit to Edinburgh in 1821 - three years before it was legal! Glenlivet has given its name to the 'longest valley in Scotland', so called after several distilleries laid claim to the Glenlivet suffix to cash in on the distillery's sterling reputation. But only one can call itself The Glenlivet.
