The Glenlivet French Oak 15 Years Old (700ml)

Above the standard-issue 12yo, Glenlivet 15yo is finished, as the name suggests, in Limousin French Oak (the same kind that is used for many Cognacs). Expect rich notes of fruit, almonds and sweet spice.

Tasting Reviews:
First whiffs pick up scents of fresh pineapple, cedar, and paraffin; later sniffings detect subtle notes of baked pear and sweet oak. Palate entry features a firm, moderately oily, and velvety texture; by midpalate, integrated flavours of ripe peach, pear drops and bran delight the taste buds. The finish is extended, semisweet and coconut-like. Replaces the 12-year-old French Oak Finish. Best Buy. Rating: 90-95
