A cut above the standard-issue 12yo, Glenlivet 15yo is finished, as the name suggests, in Limousin French Oak (the same kind that is used for many Cognacs). Expect rich notes of fruit, almonds and sweet spice.

A portion of the spirit is matured in of French Oak casks for a limited period, as to not overpower the final result. The French Oak increases the intensity of the whisky, resulting in a richer and creamier finish.
