The rocky mountains and green valleys of Scotland are the cradle of an amber spirit originally known as aqua vitae (water of life) which, when translated into Gaelic, was popularised under the name of Usquebaugh, pronounced "Wiskyba".

Since the fourth century, when Christian monks introduced distilling into the Scottish lands, an ancient tradition has developed which establishes and regulates the process of making this prized spirit.

This legacy can be appreciated in each and every bottle of Glen Silver's, a Scottish-made brand of whisky with varieties including 3 and 8-year-old Blended Scotch and 3 and 12-year-old Malt Scotch.

More than two decades ago, RamOn Masoliver Jorda, the founder of Beveland Distillers, made a journey through a number of different countries to discover and commercialize the finest spirits in the world.

This long expedition took him to the Cairngorms National Park, located in the Scottish Highlands, where he visited the local distilleries. This is a wonderful region which, together with its unique fauna and forests, houses age-old distilleries which produce the prized Scotch, in keeping with traditional techniques.

In the Cairngorms, Ramon Masoliver Jorda became friends with Arthur Silver, a master distiller, who showed him the painstaking whisky-making process, the requirements for the selection of the raw materials and the traditional art of the malting, distillation and maturation process.

This experience forged a close friendship between these two devotees of spirits and laid the foundations for a whisky which Ramon Masoliver decided to call Glen Silver's as a tribute to his friend and mentor.

Since then, Beveland Distillers exports this smooth and balanced Scotch whisky to all four corners of the world, enclosing in each bottle the knowledge and dedication of this master distiller.

As we see it, making whisky is one of the best jobs in the world. The selection of the raw materials and the care taken in each and every step of the production process constitute a satisfaction surpassed only by the pleasure of tasting the whisky itself.

The basic attributes of the four varieties of Glen Silver’s whisky begin to be shaped with the fermentation of the wort extracted from the peat-toasted, malted barley. The malts are aged for between 3 and 12 years and their spirits are distilled twice before being aged in traditional American white oak casks for a period of 3 to 8 years.

The blend of the varying ages of malts, with their spirits having been twice rectified, is aged again in accordance with the requirements of the Scotch Whisky Regulations for 3 and 8-year-old blended whiskies.
