The Glenlivet 15 Years

French Oak Reserve is a smooth Speyside single malt, enriched with elegant spice and depth for a refined and luxurious experience. Partially matured in rare Limousin French oak casks, this expression gains a richer, more complex character uncommon in Scotch whisky.

The nose is delicate and inviting, with aromas of sweet almond, cinnamon, and juicy pears. Subtle floral hints and a whisper of fresh oak add elegance. On the palate, this whisky is silky and creamy, with sweet toffee, ripe stone fruits, and gentle hints of nutmeg and clove. The influence of French oak casks brings a mild tannic grip, offering a unique twist to the Speyside profile. The finish is long and warming, gently spiced, and lingering with notes of vanilla and hazelnut.

Bottled at 40%, The Glenlivet 15 Years offers a balanced dram with fruity notes and gentle spice—perfect for refined whisky lovers. The French oak maturation adds a refined complexity without overwhelming the signature smoothness that Glenlivet is known for.

This expression is excellent for sipping neat or with a drop of water to open up its elegant layers. It’s a step up in depth from the 12-year-old and a great choice for both connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike.
