*Macallan-Glenlivet 1989 - cask 16526 20y/o 52.1%*

fruity over time; also a little bit of freshly cut grass.

whisky.
Finish: Liquorice and cocoa flavours linger long after the whisky has gone
down.

Hvis jeg ikke spørger dumt i ny og næ, når jeg aldrig op på 300 indlæg.
Hvorfor hedder f.eks. Glenlossie. = Glenlossie-Glenlivet.
Og ligeledes Glenrothes. = Glenrothes-Glenlivet.
Nu har jeg ikke søgt oplysningen på nettet, så det kan være at svaret er ligetil.
Men det er så nemt at spørge jer, der ved alt og lidt til.

Den korte udgave: Glenlivet er det område hvor de nævnte destillerier ligger.

Et godt spørgsmål!
Da Glenlivet destilleriet var et af de første destillerier der "hittede" brugte en ret stor del af de nærliggende destillerier Glenlivet som et vedhæng på deres eget destilleri navn. Det kunne være for at udtrykke deres slægtskab, deres ligeledes høje kvalitet eller bare et simpelt markedsføringskneb. -Glenlivet blev altså noget der minder om en regionsbetegnelse. Denne region svarer nogenlunde til det vi kender som Speyside whisky regionen idag. Ikke helt uden kampe er det lykkedes Glenlivet-destilleriet at overbevise de andre destillerier om ikke at bruge Glenlivet endelsen længere. Det er en del år siden, og derfor ses ikke mange flasker med denne betegnelse længere
Udover Glenlivet er navnet på et destilleri er det også navnet på et estate, et ret stort estate endda, der huser flere destillerier, udover Glenlivet er det Tomintoul, Braeval (nogengange kaldet Braes of Glenlivet) og Tamnavulin
Glenlivet er også navnet på den dal hvor Livet floden flyder. Alt i alt 3 områder der ikke er geografisk identiske.
(På samme måde er den geografiske definition af Speyside ikke det samme som Speyside-whisky regionen og meningen om hvilken region et destilleri tilhører afhænger hvem man taler med)
Som en af de få uafhængige aftappere der eksisterede dengang -Glenlivet endelsen var standard insisterer Cadenheads på fortsat at bruge denne betegnelse, de har vist nok været trukket i retten for det endda (men vandt så)
"Store" Speyside destillerier, der idag nok helst vil kendes via sig selv og ikke via Glenlivet brugte endelsen i tidligere tider, jeg har da set flasker med Macallan-Glenlivet på etiketten

Med til historien hører, at det i historisk tid (dvs engang for et nærmere bestemt antal år siden, som jeg ikke kan huske) var normalt at tale om at whiskyen var fra "et Glenlivet-destilleri", og altså angav en bestemt stil. Folkene på Glenlivet-destilleri_et_ blev naturligt nok trætte af det, hvorfor de bad om at få tilladelse til at kalde sig THE Glenlivet. Det fik de lov til, og derfor hedder det sådan den dag i dag.

Her ses også hvor River Livet løber, samt at det er en biflod til Avon (der igen er en biflod til Spey)
-Glenlivet blev dog brugt så langt væk som Elgin, over 25 miles væk. Ikke tæt på at være i nærheden af hverken Glenlivet estate eller Livet floden, og rent geografisk ikke engang i Speyside (Geografisk tilhører Elgin Lossieside)
Følgende destillerier brugte endelsen :
Aberlour, Aultmore, Balmenach, Balvenie, Benrinnes, Benromach, Coleburn, Convalmore, Cragganmore, Craigellachie, Dailuaine, Dufftown, Glenallachie, Glenburgie, Glendullan, Glenfiddich, Glen Elgin, Glenfarclas, Glen Grant, Glen Keith, Glenlossie, Glen Moray, Glenrothes, Imperial, Linkwood, Longmorn, Macallan, Miltonduff, Mortlach, Speyburn, Strathisla og Tamdhu

Heri omtales 28 destillerier skulle have brugt endelsen og derefter gives en "final" list på 26 !!
En google søgning giver Hering ret i at Glenallachie også bør tilhøre listen. Så det er ikke helt nemt at finde en liste der virker fuldkommen og sikker
Jeg kan lige tilføje at på Tomintoul flaskerne idag står der Glenlivet idag, ikke som en endelse, men sikkert fordi de ligger i Glenlivet-estate (Tomintoul ligger dog ikke i Glenlivet-dalen!)

The valley of the river Livet was once a place full of illicit stills until George Smith, one of these illicit stillmen, became a legal operator of a distillery. This made him kind of unpopular with his former mates. He joined with Andrew Usher, the grandfather of whisky blending, and developed 'Old Vatted Glenlivet', a vatted malt that became quite famous around the world. Lots of distilleries started using the name Glenlivet. In the 1930s Scottish writer Neil Gunn described this whisky "as a synonym for the real stuff."
THE Glenlivet had to fight a few hefty legal battles for its name. They are quite adamant about emphasising the THE in THE Glenlivet, not that it is super relevant anymore, but it once was. Glenlivet was used as a suffix for many distillery's single malt bottlings as a descriptor of the contents more than anything else.

Nogle få andre destillerier har forsøgt at tillægge sig selv et "posh" og "exclusive" image ved ligeledes at sætte et "The" foran deres destillerinavn

Man kan jo sige at idag er der stadig nogle destillerier der igen "stjæler" fra Glenlivet.

Når det som jeg syntes var et lidt dumt spørgsmål, bliver besvaret så begavet, føles
spørgsmålet slet ikke så tosset endda.
Nu skal jeg så indrømme, at jeg blev lidt spørgelysten da jeg så:
*Macallan-Glenlivet 1989 - cask 16526 20y/o 52.1%*
Og derefter :
*Macallan 1989 - cask 16527 20y/o 50.5%*
Jeg kunne ikke helt forstå hvorfor tilføjelsen Glenlivet blev brugt.
For mig så det ikke særlig logisk ud.
Tak for svarene, jeg fik jo ret da jeg skrev følgende.
"Men det er så nemt at spørge jer, der ved alt og lidt til."
