The Glenlivet 15 year old French Oak Reserve
Review by The Glenlivet
« This review is also available in Dutch »
- Colour
Deep gold, with intense late afternoon summer sunshine shades.
- Nose
Creamy and rich. Resinous fragrances swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl. Orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. Then, the bouquet opens on buttery notes. Shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, fudge sauce. A dry spicy echo with a touch of liquorice resonates in the back.
- Palate
Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavours in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on.
- Finish
Lingering with traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
