- Description
- Bottled in 2003 from a 1983 distillation, this Glenlivet's French Limousin oak finish adds spice and structure to the distillery's signature elegance. The 46% ABV allows both the creamy fruit character and the oak-driven complexity to shine without overpowering the palate. A refined expression that rewards those who value subtlety and balance over bold statements.
