GLENLIVET 15 YEAR OLD

The 15 Year Old gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. In fact, we at 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 we use is cut in France's Dordogne region, where its often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows 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.
 

~Tasting Notes~

- Aroma: A delightful dance of orchard fruits, honey, and a hint of cinnamon. The aroma is an invitation to the Speyside orchards, where the air is scented with the sweetness of ripe apples.

- Palate: The palate is a symphony of caramel, toffee, and dried fruits, with a touch of warm spices. Glenlivet's signature smoothness is elevated by the fifteen years of maturation, creating a velvety texture that caresses the taste buds.

- Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle echo of oak, vanilla, and a whisper of Speyside heather. The aftertaste is a lingering embrace, inviting you to savor the memory of each sip.
