The Glenlivet 15 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky is a deep gold color with traces of sweet almond and spice, and is bottled at 40%. This whisky is matured using a process of selective maturation, with a proportion of the spirit matured in French oak casks, sourced from the Limousin oak trees in the Dordogne region of France. These casks are known for their low density, allowing the whisky to sink deep into the wood and develop a unique, pleasing spiciness. The result is a rich and exotic character, with a dry spicy echo and a touch of licorice.
On the nose, this whisky has resinous fragrances that swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl, with orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. The bouquet then opens on buttery notes, with shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, and fudge sauce. The palate is round, sweet, and incredibly smooth, with luscious chocolate fudge and traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
The Glenlivet distillery is one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries, currently producing 21 million liters of whisky per year. It is the joint largest single malt whisky distillery in Scotland, with 28 stills. The distillery has been expanded several times, most recently in 2018, and is catching up to rival Glenfiddich in sales terms.
This whisky was bottled in 2019 and comes in a presentation box.

This is probably the first single malt whisky I ever had. Bought in New York following a tasting of several OB Glenlivets. I had always thought that Scotches all tasted the same, but it turns out that was only the blends, such as Johnnie Walker. As it turns out, this one is not very good as well, but I was pleasantly surprised in first tasting it.
