The Glenlivet Scotch Single Malt 15 Year French Oak Reserve 750ml
| Description: | ***** Available for In Store Pickup or shipping within New York State Only *****. The 15 Year Old's distinctive character is the result of selective maturation; a proportion of the spirit is matured in a selection of French Oak casks for a limited period, so as not to overpower the final result. The Glenlivet was one of the first distilleries to use French Oak in the whisky making process, a technique that has since been imitated by many others. Limousin Oak, which is cut in the Dordogne region of France, is often used to mature fine wines and cognacs. In the case of The Glenlivet, its low density allows the spirit to penetrate deep into the wood, imparting the expression's distinctive spiciness. The French Oak also increases the intensity of the whisky, resulting in a richer and creamier finish. Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points - Orange blossom and custard aromas mingle on the nose with a hint of smoke. Flavors of light caramel, baking spices, buttered toast and toffee create a balance between sweet and savory. The texture is round and soft with a more rustic finish. |
