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.
Sweet on the nose with tobacco notes, taste reminded me of a cigar but not the smoky taste ...the taste of the tobacco itself....no alcohol burn ...very snooth
My dad and brother swear by it, and after a few
GOOD
Has a great taste from the beginning to the end.
Can't beat the price for a 15 year old single malt, but needs atleast 43% abv.
