Product Description:
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old is a foundational single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, known for representing the distillery's signature smooth and fruity style. This expression is matured for 12 years using a "Double Oak" process. It spends time in traditional European oak casks (which can impart richer, spicier notes) and also in American oak casks (known for adding vanilla and smoothness, often ex-bourbon). This dual maturation creates a harmonious balance and approachability, making it one of the most popular single malts worldwide.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Fruity and summery, with vibrant aromas of tropical fruits (notably pineapple), orchard fruits (like pears and apples), and floral notes reminiscent of summer meadows. Hints of vanilla and possibly citrus zest.
- Palate: Smooth, balanced, and creamy. Fruity notes continue, particularly pineapple and peach, alongside distinct vanilla sweetness derived from the American oak. There's a gentle malty character, sometimes with subtle nutty hints like marzipan or hazelnut.
- Finish: Long, smooth, and gently warming. Lingering notes of marzipan, fresh hazelnuts, and sweet fruit.
