The Glenlivet 12 Year Old
With an annual production of nearly 6 million liters, The Glenlivet is a scotch whisky powerhouse, occupying shelf space in nearly every liquor store worldwide. The distillery has a storied history, starting with its founding in 1824, through it's acquisition by Glen Grant in 1953 and Seagrams in 1977 to its current resting place in the portfolio of Pernod Ricard.

If you're ever in a sketchy bar and want single malt scotch, chances are they'll have bottles of Glenfiddich 12 and The Glenlivet 12 kicking around.
