Description
The Glenlivet 15 Years Old FRENCH OAK RESERVE 40% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an outstanding single malt whisky with a fascinating history and tradition. The Glenlivet distillery was founded in 1824 and is considered to be the first licensed whisky distillery in Scotland. Today, it has developed into the largest malt distillery in the country and has secured a firm place in the history of Scotch whisky with an annual production of around 12 million litres of whisky.
The Glenlivet 15 Years Old French Oak Reserve is a particularly elegant whisky that is matured for at least 15 years in Limousin oak casks from the Dordogne region of France. These casks, which are also used for maturing cognacs, are characterised by their low wood density, which allows the whisky to penetrate deep into the wood. The result is an unmistakable depth and complexity with a unique, pleasant spiciness that gives this whisky its special character.
