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.

I had the 12 and liked it. Got the 15 and loved it. Tried both the 18 and 21 y.o. and came back to the 15. Simply pleasant.
I have always loved the 12 year old version of The Glenlivet, however after tasting this 15 year old expression it has rapidly become my favourite. Very smooth with a lovely warming finish to it. One to savour.
Probably the best dram for the money I have had. The Oak adds a pleasant but different flavor. Worthy Dram.
Maybe the best single malt I've ever tasted. A complex but still pleasing palate, hints of caramel and some subtle fruit flavors. Just the right amount of smoke, does not taste like an ashtray. It is pleasantly smooth, has no bitter aftertaste and is just a pure pleasure. It's why I drink whiskey and not gin. Taste better then whiskeys costing twice as much. I wholeheartedly endorse this fine scotch.
As a relative newby to the world of whisky, I've settled on The Glenlivet 15 as my favourite. This is a delightful whisky, sweet, fruity, nutty and a wee spicy kick at the finish. Worth every penny and even better as I picked it up at a reduced price in Sainsburys (£33). Would happily pay full retail price. The bottle isn't going to last long...
