"This 15 year old expression from The Glenlivet, was matured in French Limousin Oak casks. The nose is rich and oaked. There are notes of chewy resinous wood with a well-balanced acidity. Fudge and Madeira with apple crumble with calvados. The palate is full and rich with winter spice; cinnamon and cloves, thick oak with developing aridity. The finish is long and dry with a peppery note."
--------THE PRODUCER--------
Glenlivet
It was in November 1824 that George Smith was granted a distiller’s licence for the remote parish of Glenlivet. Within a few months the first legally produced Glenlivet whisky began to flow at the small distillery at Upper Drumin, Scotland. History – and the single malt that started it all – was in the making.
