The Glenlivet distillery is located near to Ballindalloch in the Speyside region of Scotland and is owned by Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard). The distillery is supported by a long history of whisky production. It is an iconic brand and much sought after worldwide. Historically it stood apart for the uniqueness of its light and fresh flavour at a time when heavier style whiskies commanded the trade. The distillery's capacity has been expanded in recent times and now stands at large 21 million litres. July 2021 saw the opening of a beautifully refurbished visitor centre. In the core range there is the Founder's Reserve, Captain’s Reserve finished in cognac casks and Caribbean Reserve finished in rum casks. Also there are a 12 year old and 15 year old French Oak Reserve plus an 18 year old. Most recently in 2022 two new whiskies forming the The Sample Room Collection were released replacing the 21 year old Archive and Glenlivet XXV.

The Aultmore distillery was founded in 1897 in the popular Speyside region outside the small town of Keith, north east Scotland. Suppling the large blending houses with Aultmore single malts the distillery quickly became a great hit for its smooth spirit. Now owned by John Dewar & Sons Ltd with the majority of production is for Dewar’s blended whisky. The core single malt expressions have won double gold in the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
