A well-crafted whisky from the legendary Glenlivet Distillery, originally produced for the French market. This whisky has been aged for 13 years in first-fill American Oak, producing a dram rich in notes of sweet oak, vanilla cake, caramel, apples, pears, mango, bananas, gummy candies, white chocolate and caramelised malt. Easy drinking, approachable yet still complex, this is a superb Speyside single malt.
Nose: A burst of orchard fruits, honeyed sweetness, and a hint of vanilla. The aroma is an invitation to a fruit-filled orchard, where the sweetness of ripe apples and pears mingles with the gentle breeze.
Palate: The palate is a dance of caramelized sugar, tropical fruits, and a touch of toasted oak. Glenlivet's signature smoothness is elevated by the first-fill American Oak, creating a velvety texture that delights the taste buds.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with a subtle spiciness and a lingering warmth. As the flavors gently fade, they leave behind a memory of Speyside's lush landscapes and the craftsmanship of Glenlivet.
