 | | Even distilleries far from the glen of the river Livet would add “Glenlivet” to their names, just as cigar makers today employ the word “Havana,” regardless of whether their cigars are rolled in Cuba. |
 | | Glenlivet spirits became so renowned that when King George IV visited Edinburgh in 1822, he specifically requested Glenlivet whisky, knowing full well it was being distilled illegally. |
 | | One of the more than 200 illicit whisky makers inhabiting the Glenlivet area during this period was George Smith, who operated his still at Upper Drumin, high on a slope overlooking the valley and near a cold and constant water source, Josie’s Well. |
