The Glenlivet 15yo – review

The exotic and special character of the 15 year Glenlivet expression is due to the selective aging process where part of the whisky is matured in French oak barrels. Glenlivet was among the first distilleries to use French oak in the process of making their whisky expressions. Limousin Oak comes from the Dordogne region of France, where it is often used for maturing the cognac. Its low density allows the drink to penetrate deep into the wood of the barrel, and the distillery masters carefully control the maturation period to avoid overloading the final taste.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Notes of dried fruit, butter, rose petals, green apple and cinnamon accents.

Palate: A rich bouquet, dominated by woody notes, almond flavour, apple cake and cinnamon. A drop of water opens red apple flavours.

Finish: Persistent, spicy.

Color: Amber.

For pairings, this one goes very well with dark chocolate or salted caramel chocolate.
You can also pair it with some hard cheese, like Roquefort blue cheese or the Fourme d’Ambert French 🇫🇷 cheese. You can of course pair it with a good cigar too 😉

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
