Reviews for The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve
Oak is Oak no matter where its grown....
Would rather have this 15 aged in Oloroso sherry casks.
Would bring out so much more in nose and flavor. Should also be bottled a 43% or better.
While we are at it, non-chilled filtered and no color added.
The oak just seems to prevent this from being so much better than it could be. It smothers the style Glenlivet has come to be known for. This 750m will sit for some time until it oxidizes in the bottle for something a little more ideal (hoping it happens).

Better the second time
First time I had this was kinda disappointed and felt that the 12 year was much better but trying it again right now and I am liking it quite a bit.Similar apple flavor to the 12 year but with a bit more rich oak and cinnamon and very smooth I can imagine drinking many glasses of this stuff.I honestly prefer Glenfiddich's 15 year more just a lot fruitierand a better finish but this is actually really good and very smooth.Worth the money for sure.

Glenlivet 15 Year
Really Smooth, can't stand Glenfiddich. Unable to find in Duty Free in Miami, or Bermuda, in Bermuda retail has no 12,15,or 18 year old. 18 have not seen yet.

The best
I've had older but for my money this is as good as it gets. Incredibly smooth, not too fruity, perfect amount of sweetness with a bit of spice. Love this single malt.
