Glenlivet 15 year old French Oak Reserve Limousin Cask Finished, 40%

This is playful and tropical on the nose, with bright pineapple, mango, and kiwi, all redolent of heather honey. A bit more assertive on the sip, there’s depth from flavors of roasted grains and toasted almonds, and sweetness from honey, cream soda, and raisins. While straightforward, it’s welcoming and enjoyable. The finish ties the whisky together neatly, with more vanilla cream and toasted nuttiness fading quickly.
