Glenlivet 15 Year French Oak Reserve

Nose: Very oaky, wood varnish, a touch of fresh pineapple. Palate: Soft body and slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Loads of sweet yellow tropical fruit like mango and pineapple, and golden raisins. Finish: Turns woody with gentle baking spices developing, but then trails off and ends up dry with cinnamon being the final flavour.

사과향 굿 첫 모금은 알콜이 좀 튀는데 잔에서 에어링 하다보면 부드러워짐

Smooth. Not as peaty. My favorite scotch now

Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin glass. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: ripe red apples, pears Mouthfeel: neutral (water) Palate: apple peels, citrus vanilla Finish: hint of spice. peppery Rating: 8/10 Price paid: $80 Overall Notes: Smooth while retaining apple notes (vs the mellower Glenfiddich 15) Would I get again? It’s a tossup between this and Glenfiddich 15 (exceptionally mellow/smooth). This has a hit more character (apple and peppery) - but I would still choose Glennfiddich 15 just for the smooth mellow reference.
