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 nose, gives off lovely notes. Let down on the taste, very short lived and sadly chill filtered hence the lack of flavour/punch. Not a bad dram but definitely much better out there for the price.
I found it a bit bland. There is better out there for the same price or even less if one is prepared to put in the effort.
This is pretty much a go-to for me after I have had a dram or two of something a little more expensive.
Smooth as Glenlivet is with oak heavy finish but (like the Double Oak 12Y) not big in depth. Certainly not a memorable dram. Extremely approachable and drinkable though.
Best I've ever had!
