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.
This is my go-to scotch for the end of the day. It is also significantly better than its 12 year cousin - enough to make the price difference worth it for daily sipping.
Every man worth his manhood should get a case today. I had a great you know what. ..
This 15 years waters my fearce appetite for a very unique cask. I appreciate his sweetness with a hint of toffee and subtle peat. I found it very balanced and refreshing.
I prefer this one over Glenlivet 18. Very smooth, rich taste. Tastes even better of left sit on a shelf for few weeks after opening ... if possible :)
This surprised me. Not overpriced in my opinion, you're getting a playful little scotch for just shy of £40. Really love those oaken notes.
