  Glenlivet Single Malt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glenlivet is a Speyside Single malt Scotch Whisky produced by The Glenlivet Distillery in Ballindalloch, Scotland.
In 1880, the Smiths won exclusive rights to the name The Glenlivet, enabling them to protect their trademark against encroachment by other, lesser quality whiskies.
In 1977 the distillery was purchased by the North American alcohol giant Seagram, which has heavily promoted it in the American market; it is now the most widely sold single malt Scotch in the USA.

For malt whisky, the wash is moved into pot stills for the first of two or three distillations, while for grain whisky the wash is distilled in a column still.
A Single Malt is thus a malt whisky from one distillery, and a Single Grain a grain whisky from one distillery.
Scotland is traditionally divided into several regions (between six and nine) for the classification of single malts; to a greater or lesser degree, the whiskies in a given region may have similar characteristics.

The whole point of the 'classic malts' was to highlight the variety within single malts for 'beginners' and I think they have done a great job in bringing new customers to the market.
I must say that the brief course about the making of single malts was quite novice-oriented, and perhaps with some oversimplifications (but after all there were lots of newcomers to the world of malts at the tasting).
Still a good malt, but nowhere near as good as the older bottling from the early '90s that I tasted recently at home, which was drier, much more peppery and with a big maltiness: it was more intense and warming, though still very elegant and rounded.

The Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky announces this year's vintage reserve, The Glenlivet Cellar Collection 1964, a limited-edition release which showcases the most extraordinary expressions from The Glenlivet Distillery.
In order to capture the intensity of the delicate flavors developed through the combination of careful aging and the marriage of the sherry and the traditional oak casks, this release is not chill-filtered, nor is it diluted to a standard strength.
The result is a sumptuous single malt that fully coats the mouth with a rich, spicy flavor laced with notes of sweet plums and heather.

 Malt Madness - by Johannes van den Heuvel (All about single malt scotch whisky, not whiskey)
The quality of 'antique' malts isn't neccessarily higher than that of modern malts, but here we have a perfect example of just how magnificent some of those oldies can be.
I usually tend to prefer overproof malts to those bottled at a whimpier 40 or 43%, but in this case the bottling with the lower ABV provides the depth and complexity that attracted me to single malts in the first place.
However, for a full-time malt maniac like myself a malt needs to show something special to reach the 80's and a score in the 90's is reserved for the very best of the best; a precious few whiskies that deserve to be remembered forever.

Generally speaking, Lowland malts are lighter, more delicate; Island malts are heavy, peaty and dry; Campbeltown's two distilleries produce spirits that are soft with a touch of brine; and Highland malts are richer, more complex.
It isn't enough to jot down "tasting notes," as malt drinkers do in the bar at the Craigellachie Hotel: "smooth," "light," "so-so." The noser's lexicon runs from rose, pear-drop and fig through toffee and green tomato, all the way to pencil shaving, iodine, burnt rubber and creosote.
A single malt is no less a potpourri than a blend that folds several malts into cheaper grain whisky.
