The Glenlivet is constantly battling it out with Glenfiddich for the best selling single malts in the world and they are quite similar. Which is better though? Let’s find out. Nice and fruity with oranges, grapes and candied lemons. More malt and some sherry with floral qualities in the mix too. Brazil nuts and plums round it off. Very pleasant and easy to drink. The charming story of Glenlivet begins in Livet Valley, where the founder of the brand, George Smith, learned about whiskey making. Secreted in this hard-to-find valley, Smith learned how to distill the whiskey that was to become World famous. The tale continues with King George IV arriving in Scotland in August 1822 when he is reputed to have asked to try an illegal (as it was then) dram of Glenlivet single malt whiskey. I think this is a huge improvement over the 12-year-old. The blending of flavors is more cohesive, and there seems to be a better balance between oak influence and the distillery DNA. I feel like I’d enjoy this more if it weren’t so watery.

Awards for The Glenlivet 15

As is often the case with 40% ABV whiskies it is very short. Wine gums come to mind with some honey, malt, a touch of vanilla and pepper. Summary Genel : Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve, genel olarak oldukça zengin bir ekspresyon. Meyvemsi, meşemsi ve baharatlı notaları müthiş bir dengeyle sunuyor. Özellikle burundaki zengin kokular ve güçlü damaktan çok keyif aldım. Bu yazı ilginizi çektiyse; Aside from being different, I find that it isn’t as complex as the 12 and 15. The flavors are just more pleasant, thus easier to enjoy. After the cask flavors run out, though, there’s a sudden stop. If you were to ask me my ranking of the three, I’d say 15 > 18 > 12. Since this is one of the most easy-to-find single malts in the world, I feel like I’m compelled to compare the price of this to other unpeated single malts of the same price range that can serve as better alternatives.

The Glenlivet distillery takes its water from Josie’s Well As Well as other nearby springs. The malt is supplied by Crisp Maltings of Portgordon. Part of the Glenlivet distillery process is chill filtering, which, in taste tests, has been adjudged to impart a fuller, rounder, and richer flavour. Whisky DetailsIs the 18 worth the price? No. I can get better and more interesting alternatives, even if they’re younger, in the same price range. At this price point, there are far more intriguing options in the form of limited editions and indie bottlers. Jelly Belly Gummy Orange Slices, dark fruitiness, vanilla and nutty tones take up most of the flavor, but do allow for light notes of cinnamon heavy spice, hay like maltiness and smarties to come through. This is different from what I remember; I recall tasting more green apples and pears in the 12. Is this really the same whisky as the ones in the green bottle? Or have my senses just changed? Is it both? It’s been a few years since I last tried this whisky after all. Burun : Şeftali, elma ve portakal gibi zengin meyvemsi kokulara karamel, fındık ve kuru üzüm eşlik ediyor. Meşemsi notalar da oldukça belirgin. Kremamsı ve dolgun bir hissiyat uyandıran dengeli ve parfümsü bir burun.

Bitiş :Orta ile uzun arası diyebileceğim, fındıksı ve meyvemsi aromaların olduğu kuru ve baharatlı bir bitiş.

It’s kind of funny how long it’s taken me to get around to the 15. It’s not incredibly expensive and it’s not hard to find, but somehow it has always seemed to get pushed aside every single time I went to the bottle shop or dismissed at the bar. But that’s not actually important, what is important is how this whisky tastes and I think we should get into that right… now! Glenlivet 15 years Review

In the mouth: A tropical fruit salad with an intermission of French oak in the middle. Like on the nose, it’s initially tropical fruits. I get light and slightly lasting tastes of cantaloupe, pineapples, sapodilla, starfruit, Fuji apples, honey and dried apricots. There’s a sneaking, rising heat here too as I chew it. The French oak manifests in the form of mushrooms. Similar to the nose, I get subtle and brief tastes of dried shiitake mushrooms, chaga powder and leather. At the end are a subtle mix of more tropical fruit notes with something bitter. The bitterness makes me think of biting into a fresh coconut husk, as well as honeydew and different shades of orange. Conclusions:On the nose: Very different from the 12 and 15. The aromas of red fruits are more dominant: I get light, lasting and stable aromas of cherries, dates, and sultanas, as well as Thompson & muscatel grapes, coffee, chocolate, honey and blood orange. There are subtle bursts of pineapple, orange peel and starfruit in between these–then there’s a sudden fall-off.
