French Limousin Oak, which is cut in the Dordogne region of France, is typically reserved for the maturation of fine wines and cognac — when used to age whisky, the low density profile of the wood allows the spirit to penetrate deep into the wood, lending the whisky a signature spiciness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs a result, The Glenlivet 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an intense golden color and aromas of butter, caramel and whipped cream. On the palate, the whisky is slightly fruity, with notes of baked apples and cinnamon spice leading to a finish accented by almonds, nutmeg and pie crust.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Glenlivet 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition two years in a row in 2011 and 2012. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up a bottle today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout The Glenlivet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            During the early 19th century, illegal distilleries were commonplace throughout the Speyside region of Scotland. In 1823, however, Alexander Gordon pushed the Excise Act of 1823 through Parliament. The Excise Act allowed illegal distillers throughout Scotland to apply for and obtain licenses to legally distill spirits. In 1824, a businessman named George Smith applied for one of the first licenses in the Speyside region of Scotland and opened the doors to The Glenlivet Distillery. For nearly two centuries, The Glenlivet Distillery has been producing the “single malt whisky that started it all.”                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/theglenlivet-shop-the-glenlivet\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all The Glenlivet bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
