Product Details
The Glenlivet 15 Years Old utilizes a unique 'French Oak Reserve' process, selecting Limousin oak casks from the Dordogne region of France for maturation. These casks, traditionally used for premium Cognac, possess a fine grain that imparts rich complexity and warm spice to the whisky. This perfectly complements Glenlivet’s classic floral and fruity notes, creating a deeply sophisticated and elegant drinking experience.

Read More About the Brand
Founded in 1824, The Glenlivet was the first licensed distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. Founder George Smith was renowned for his commitment to quality; his whisky was so superior that other local distilleries began copying the 'Glenlivet' name. To protect its authenticity, the distillery successfully applied for a legal patent, becoming the only brand entitled to be called 'The Glenlivet'.
The core style of Glenlivet relies on high-necked, lantern-shaped copper stills, which allow for greater interaction between the spirit and the copper, extracting light and delicate fruity and floral notes. The 15 Years Old expression is a testament to this innovation, as the Master Distiller boldly introduced French Limousin oak. Its high tannin content adds alluring nutty and toasted spice notes, making it an elegant classic of Speyside whisky.
