This 15 year old expression from The Glenlivet, was matured in French Limousin Oak casks. Limousin Oak is a popular choice for maturation of Cognac.
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.
The palate is full and rich with winter spice; cinnamon and cloves, thick oak with developing aridity.
The finish is long and dry with a peppery note.
Great scotch but it did not come in French Oak as it sounds like it does from the description.
Beyond Excellent!
Please expedite the French Oak Whiskey !! A lot of stress here in the states! I desperately need my old dependable friend!!
Can the guy who found this at £17.34 a bottle please tell me where, am on ma way wi the wheel barra noo. Having sampled this numerous times I also agree it's hard not to continue once you open the bottle. A wee gem, in a big industry.
I did love the smoothness of this one. Great for dessert. PS. Thumbs down on the botteling, it did not come in an oak cask as stated :P (what the.. xD) recommended!
