Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak 

The Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak

A true classic from Scotland’s Speyside region, The Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak is an iconic Single Malt Scotch whisky that embodies the smooth, fruity style of its distillery. This expression is celebrated for its distinctive maturation process, which gives it a rich and complex character.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: A bright, vibrant gold.
• Aroma: Delicate and floral, with a lively bouquet of fresh pear, citrus, and spring flowers, complemented by hints of creamy oak.
• Palate: Exceptionally smooth and balanced, the palate is bursting with flavors of juicy pineapple, green apple, and sweet vanilla. Its creamy, velvety texture is a result of the unique double oak maturation process.
• Finish: The finish is long and gentle, with a satisfying warmth and a subtle sweetness from the oak.

The “Double Oak” name refers to its two-stage maturation. The whisky is aged in a combination of traditional American and European oak casks, which impart different characteristics. The American oak provides notes of vanilla and creamy sweetness, while the European oak adds a touch of spice and complexity, resulting in a perfectly balanced and harmonious single malt. It’s a perfect choice for those who appreciate a classic, smooth, and fruit-forward whisky.
