The Glenlivet 15 Year Old

The Glenlivet 15 Year OldThe 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 Frances Dordogne region, where its often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows whisky to sink

TASTING NOTES

caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak

orange and toasted mature oak

Several layers of flavour are melding into a barley sugar and oak mellowed texture while drifting over sweet kiln-dried barley

It’s true

peat and long-lasting oak

long and smoky finish – subtle

Finish: Long and Warming

Medium bodied and rich with good legs

and non chill-filtered

A fine balance between American power and French sophistication

and caramel with a backbone of sea salt and smoky-sweet finish
