After a brief hiatus, Glenmorangie returned to the market as a single malt whisky in 1959 and quickly ascended to become the best-selling whisky in Scotland. The distillery is particularly famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills, which produce a fine, fruity, and sweet spirit. Dr. Bill Lumsden, known for his innovative approaches, has also spearheaded the creation of experimental limited editions that utilize different varieties of barley and various types of whisky barrels.

In 1921, Ian Hunter took control of the distillery, significantly expanding production and exports to the U.S. As a result, Laphroaig became one of the most popular whiskeys in North America and Great Britain. After Hunter's death in 1954, the distillery was inherited by his secretary, Bessie Williamson, making her the first woman to run a Scottish distillery. In 1994, Laphroaig was awarded a "Royal Warrant" from Prince Charles, a designation granted only to companies with a long-standing supply of products to the royal family. This recognition affirms Laphroaig's tradition of quality and establishes it as the drink of choice at the royal court.

Glendullan uses long fermentation and slow distillation to create a spirit with a slightly fruity and grassy character. In 1972, a second stillhouse was built next to the original, referred to as Glendullan 2. This stillhouse operated in parallel with the original, but in 1985 the original distillery was closed. Since then, whisky production has been carried out in Glendullan 2, which is used for blended whiskies such as Johnnie Walker, as well as for the Singleton of Glendullan single malt brand, launched in 2007 as an exclusive product for the North American market.

GLENLIVET 15 YEARS OLD FRENCH OAK RESERVE | Stated age: 15 years old | ABV: 40% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Distillery description | Glenlivet is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, with a rich history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by George Smith. It was among the first distilleries to obtain a legal license following the Excise Act of 1823, enabling it to produce whisky legally. This move faced resistance from local illegal producers, but Glenlivet quickly established itself as a model for other distilleries. Known for its exceptional spirit, Glenlivet features delightful notes of apples and malt. Its quality soon made it one of the most popular whiskies, not only in Scotland but also internationally. By the 1830s, it had gained popularity in London, particularly among the upper classes. The prestige of the Glenlivet name became so significant that other Speyside distilleries began to use it, leading to a legal battle that George Smith ultimately won, securing exclusive rights to the name "The Glenlivet." In 1978, Glenlivet became part of the Seagram Company. When Pernod Ricard acquired Seagram's whisky portfolio in 2001, Glenlivet emerged as a key brand within the global group. Under Pernod Ricard's leadership, Glenlivet has grown to be one of the best-selling single malt whiskies worldwide. Today, Glenlivet offers an extensive range of bottlings, including the renowned 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old, 21-year-old, and 25-year-old whiskies.

Founded in 1887 by William Grant, who built the distillery with his family, Glenfiddich translates to "valley of the deer" in Gaelic, a name reflected in the brand's logo. Still owned by the Grant family, Glenfiddich is one of the few distilleries to remain in the hands of its original family for over a century. It was among the first to promote single malt whisky as a distinct category, choosing to focus on pure single malts at a time when most distilleries produced whisky primarily for blends. This innovative approach has positioned Glenfiddich as a leader in the global market. The whisky is characterized by typical notes of apple and pear.

Founded in 1810, it has had various names, including Craighouse, Small Isles, and Caol nan Eilean, before finally becoming Jura. The distillery's early success ended in 1901 due to a whiskey crisis, leading to its closure. Its remote location and lack of direct access to the mainland made operations costly, causing it to remain shut for over 60 years. In 1963, Jura was revitalized by Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, who worked with blender Charles Mackinlay and designer William Delme-Evans to boost island distilling and support the local economy. Jura began selling its single malt whiskey in 1974 and steadily expanded its offerings. In 2002, it launched Superstition whiskey, which added a slightly smoky flavor, followed by the fully peated Prophecy edition in 2009.

It was part of the larger Dumbarton Distillery complex, primarily focused on grain whisky, while Inverleven specialized in single malt whisky. This arrangement was common in the 20th century, with several distilleries built within larger grain whisky complexes. Established by Hiram Walker & Sons, Inverleven primarily produced whisky for blended brands like Ballantine's and Teacher's. Known for its light and smooth style, Inverleven's whisky was ideal for blending. Unfortunately, the distillery closed in 1991, coinciding with the shutdown of the parent Dumbarton Distillery. Interestingly, some of Inverleven's equipment, including the unique Lomond still-designed for greater flexibility in producing various whisky styles-was retained and relocated to the new Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay. Although Inverleven never established itself as an independent brand of single malt whisky, its bottlings have appeared from independent bottlers and in limited editions.

They initially renamed it Glen Guin, and in 1905, it became Glengoyne. The distillation process at Glengoyne is significantly slower than that of other Scottish distilleries, contributing to the smooth, sweet, and fruity character of the distillate. It is dominated by notes of apples, pears, and bananas, which give the whisky its characteristic lightness and smoothness. A unique feature of the distillery is that the distillation takes place in the Highlands region, while the warehouses where the whisky matures are located across the road in the Lowlands. This geographical distinction is often highlighted in the brand's marketing. In 2003, the distillery was sold to Ian MacLeod, who focused on developing the Glengoyne brand as a premium single malt whisky and transforming it into a tourist destination.

The distillery closed in 1907 due to a drop in demand for whisky and remained out of business until 1960 when it reopened as the market began to grow again. However, Glenglassaugh faced challenges; its distinctive spirit was difficult to blend, greatly limiting its use. This ultimately led to its closure in 1986, and many assumed that the distillery would remain closed permanently. In 2008, however, production surprisingly resumed. In 2013, Glenglassaugh was incorporated into the BenRiach Distillery Co. group, joining the BenRiach and Glendronach distilleries. Although there was a 22-year gap in the distillery's stock, good cask management has allowed it to combine older whiskies with modern production to launch new bottlings. Today, Glenglassaugh's distillate is known for its distinctive fruit and honey notes, with some of the production also being peaty. | Bottle description | Glenglassaugh 1965 is a single malt whisky bottled by independent distillery Murray McDavid as part of their prestigious Mission Cask Strength series.

With the expansion of other grain distilleries and the increasing need for malt whisky in the 1960s, the distillery was converted back to a malt distillery in 1964, leading to yet another name change, this time to Hillside. Four years later, a large malt house was built next door, which was further expanded in 1973.

The Grants are known for their prudent business strategy; as George Grant, the sixth-generation family member, states, "We've been through 22 recessions. We only make what we can afford, and we never borrow to make it." This philosophy has enabled the distillery to increase its stock even when others cut production, ensuring a sufficient supply of older whiskies.
