Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Speyside, Scotland | 750ml
The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve gains its distinctive richness through selective maturation, with a proportion of the spirit matured in French oak casks. This approach adds depth and spice to the whisky's elegant, floral character, offering a layered single malt for unhurried sipping.
Deep gold in the glass, it brings sweet almond and spice together with the peaches-and-cream character described by Whisky Advocate. Vanilla, clove, and a pleasing dryness lend definition to the rounded profile.
Expert Reviews
Whisky Advocate · JH, Spring 2005 | I enjoy Glenlivet whisky for its subtle elegance, floral notes, along with a delicious 'peaches & cream' flavor. For this particular whisky, finishing some of the whisky in new French oak barrels adds depth, dried spice (vanilla, clove) and pleasing dryness to the Glenlivet profile. This whisky is more polished and refined than the 12 year old expression it replaces. (JH, Spring 2005)
Wine Spectator · February 2011 | A deep, elegant malt with astonishing body nuances. Smells of dusky rose, honey and cereal, then breaks out toasty on the palate, with a flash of hard candy, honey, licorice and chocolate. The long finish alone is reason to drink this, resonating with the flavors while adding a charming, rooty grittiness before ending with a pleasant astringency.
