Glenlivet Distillery
A very rare and unique bottle from the Braes of Glenlivet Distillery. This Distillery is now the Braeval Distillery on the Glenlivet estate.
In 1973 Chivas Brothers who was then a subsidery of Seagrams built the 'Braes of Glenlivet Distillery'.
This bottle was distilled two years later in June 1975 and then bottled in October 2011. Aged 36 years old.
Then in 1994 the 'Braes of Glenlivet Distillery' changed its name to the 'Braeval Distillery' to avoid confusion with a very close neighbouring distillery on the Glenlivet estate.
In 2001 Chivas Brothers was purchased by Pernod Ricard who then closed the distillery in 2002 before being re-opened in 2008.

Nose: Fresh floral and fragrant.

For the collectors who notice detail the bottle states "Braes of Glenlivet was built in 1972" however most history books list 1973.
