The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve
Tasting notes
Limousin oak gives more pronounced vanilla and spice than the American-oak 12. A genuine step up rather than an age-statement gimmick.
Vanilla, peach, soft toffee, a hint of pine.
Sweeter and rounder than the 12 — caramel, almond, faint cedar.
Medium-long, sweet, with a soft oak dryness.
