This 15 year old expression from The Glenlivet, was matured in French Limousin Oak casks. Limousin Oak is a popular choice for the maturation of Cognac.

A cut above the standard-issue 12yo, Glenlivet 15yo is finished, as the name suggests, in Limousin French Oak. Expect rich notes of fruit, almonds, and sweet spice.

The delicate touch of peat smoke is followed by aromas of sandalwood, hot clay, and vanilla. The smoke becomes more apparent on the palate and is nicely balanced by flavors of sweet nectarine, wild herbs, and baking spices.

The Glenlivet 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 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:

The nose is rich and oaked. There are notes of chewy resinous wood with a well-balanced acidity. Fudge and Madeira with apple crumble with calvados.

Palate:

The palate is full and rich with winter spice; cinnamon and cloves, thick oak with developing aridity.

Finish:

The finish is long and dry with a peppery note.
