Product details

The Glenlivet 15 Year Old single malt scotch whisky gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. In fact, at The Glenlivet they one of the first to use French oak for making whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak they use is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs.

Notes

Sweet fruits, delicate spice. Lingering, sweet almond, spice.

WHY 'THE' GLENLIVET?

The small word The carries a legal history at Glenlivet. As rivals adopted the valley's name, John Gordon Smith fought to distinguish his family's whisky; in 1884, the settlement secured the title that still sets the distillery apart.
