Description: The 15 Year Old 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, we at The Glenlivet were one of the first to use French oak for making whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak we use is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows whisky to sink deep into the wood, and we carefully control how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower the desired result: a unique, pleasing spiciness.

Glenlivet French Oak Reserve 15-Year is celebrated for its extended aging process in French Limousin oak casks. This special aging imparts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, and a subtle influence of French oak, distinguishing it from other Glenlivet expressions.

This single malt Scotch typically offers a flavor profile with notes of orchard fruits, baking spices, honey, and a hint of oak. The influence of French oak casks contributes to its complexity and richness, creating a well-balanced and elegant taste.

Glenlivet French Oak Reserve 15-Year is typically enjoyed neat or with a drop or two of water to fully explore its flavors. It's a whiskey meant for sipping slowly to appreciate its nuanced character, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy refined and aged single malt Scotch.
