Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve 1L + 1 Free Glenlivet Gift Glass

Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve 1 L, bundled with a complimentary branded Glenlivet gift glass, brings you the essence of Speyside’s pioneering spirit right to your door in Nairobi—within 30 minutes, 24/7. As a core expression from The Glenlivet’s Heritage Collection, this no‑age‑statement single malt honours George Smith’s original vision: selecting whiskies by taste, not by years spent in cask.

Why it stands out: Crafted using the same pure water sources and distillation techniques as in 1824, this expression blends whiskies matured in traditional oak and American first-fill oak casks, delivering a creamy sweetness that complements the hallmark fruity character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Delicate citrus fruit and sweet orange aromas, with hints of honey and fig
