The Glenlivet French Oak 15 YO

The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve is a refined Speyside single malt Scotch whisky matured in traditional oak casks and selectively finished in French Limousin oak. This rare oak, typically used for fine Cognac, imparts a distinctive spiced character and creamy texture. The whisky is aged for 15 years to achieve a rich, layered profile that combines Glenlivet’s hallmark fruitiness with oak-driven complexity.

Bouquet
Aromas of ripe pear, buttery pastry, toasted almonds and cinnamon. Hints of orange peel and soft oak spice create a warm and inviting nose.

Palate
Smooth, elegant and gently spiced. Flavours of sweet orchard fruit, vanilla, nutmeg and a touch of honey unfold over a silky texture. The French oak adds a subtle dryness and depth, with a lingering finish of warm spice, toasted wood and crème brûlée.

Food Pairing
Enjoy neat or with a splash of water to enhance its creamy texture. Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, nutty cheeses, crème caramel or apple tart. A luxurious after-dinner dram or an elegant gift for whisky lovers.

Cellaring
Matured to peak condition at 15 years and ready to enjoy now. Will remain stable and complex for several years once opened if stored upright and sealed.

Interesting Fact
The Glenlivet was the first Scotch whisky to officially be licensed after the Excise Act of 1823. Its 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve was one of the earliest mainstream expressions to showcase finishing in Limousin oak—an innovation that brought Cognac techniques into the whisky world.
