Glenlivet 15 Year Old

This 15 year old from the Glenlivet distillery was matured in French Limousin Oak casks, the same cask type used for maturing cognacs.

Tasting Notes:

COLOUR: Deep gold, with intense late afternoon summer sunshine shades.

NOSE: Creamy and rich. Resinous fragrances swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl. Orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. Then, the bouquet opens on buttery notes. Shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, fudge sauce. A dry spicy echo with a touch of liquorice resonates in the back.

PALATE: Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavours in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on.

FINISH: Lingering with traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
