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 with dahl and rice
Very nice. A lot of flavors involved.
Pretty good and smooth scotch!
Can't believe the quality of this speyside. It's so smooth! And so woody/caramely. It's beautiful.
I decided to venture out of the 12's and bought the Lagavulin 16 and Glenlivet 15. Out of the two enjoyed the Glenlivet much more. Smoother and more caramelized flavor and a smokey taste. The Lagavilin was a bit smokier and not as smooth but tasty nonetheless.
