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.

Incredibly smooth. One of the best in this price range.
The person who said this tastes like Elmer's Glue was obviously sniffing glue, not drinking this fine Scotch. If there's anything better I can't afford it.
I've been meaning to try this for years but never got around to it. I get a nice heavy cherry and oak smell, and the flavor is spiced with bitter cherry, oak and butterscotch. Smooth as butter with a spicy, peppery finish. Sweet but not too sweet. Bit harsh at the very end though, sears the tongue.
After reading the reviews I was excited for this one. Ended up tasting like paint and Elmer's glue...
This is probably the nicest malt I have tried to date.. Ive searched for many years to find a malt I can truly say I love.. (taste & price important) well this it it. Well done Glenlivet. Ticks all my boxes. If anyone loves me out there well this is indeed my perfect christmas/birthday present.
