The Glenlivet 15 Year Old
AVB: 40%. Bottle: 700ml
In fact, The Glenlivet were one of the first to use French oak for making whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak they use is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows the whisky to sink deep into the wood, and we carefully control how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower the desired result: a unique, pleasing spiciness.
Nose: Creamy, rich, buttery
Palate: Sweet fruits, delicate spice
Finish: Lingering, sweet almond, spice
