Glenlivet 15 Year French Oak Reserve
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

From a tapered rocks glass
Nose: Unexpectedly punchy. Crisp, red fruits and apricot. Malt and sweet cereal mingles in the background
Palate: Light mouthfeel. Pronounced red fruits and honeyed cereals. Spice follows the arrival, and lifts up into more woody notes leading to the finish
Finish: Light barrel tannins with lingering sweetness; almost minty
Adding water softens the nose but makes the honeyed cereal in the palate jump out.
Light and approachble, and invokes a more refined Glenlivet 12
