The Glenlivet
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
This is one of the malts I keep going back to, really enjoy the influence of the French oak casks. Color is a deep gold, amber. Nose is fruity, I get raisins and ripening apples, oak is rich. On the palate I can taste dried fruits, cinnamon, but not overpowering. Finish is where I think this one shines (I thinks so anyway). Nice long dry finish, peppery, honey sweetness comes through, a bit more oak, at times some caramel. Leaves a long lasting satisfying flavor despite have a medium body feel. Only wish that ABV was a bit higher.
My favourite Speyside sofar. Pure oak, no sherry, port or other winey nonsense. Let it sit in the glass for 15 minutes, but take a smell every now and then, and notice how it wakes up. From the classic Speyside fruity (sherry) smell, it evolves to a lively explosion of wood, vanilla, toffee, tobacco, banana and so on.
Reminds me of Cognac Obviously the influence of the French oak casks
Reading the reviews it sounded like I wrote the one on the 31st August 2020?? Well if not, absolutely an everyday go to cleanser that beats the 18 year per £. Only other 5 stars I can give is the Glendranoch 18.
Poured and left in the glass for 15 minutes, this stuff is absolutely lovely, nothing to dislike
