The Glenlivet 12 Year Old | 1980s Bottling | 75cl | Speyside Single Malt

A classic official bottling of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old from the 1980s, bearing the label designation "Unblended All Malt Scotch Whisky" — the pre-1990s term for single malt, before industry standardisation. Sourced from a private collection. The Glenlivet 12 in this era was widely regarded as the benchmark entry-level Speyside single malt globally — lighter, more floral, and more delicate than today's expression. The 75cl pre-EU harmonisation format confirms pre-1992 origin.
