The Glenlivet 12-Year-Old Double Oak is a smooth, fruit-forward Speyside single malt, matured in both American oak and European oak casks, hence the “Double Oak” name. The American oak brings vanilla and creamy sweetness, while the European oak adds subtle spice and depth. Bottled at 40% ABV, this whisky is an excellent introduction to The Glenlivet range, offering a refreshing and well-balanced profile.
Nose: Bright and inviting, with aromas of pear, citrus, honey, and vanilla, complemented by a touch of almond and soft oak spice.
Palate: Smooth and creamy, featuring flavours of apple, toffee, and vanilla, with a gentle hint of cinnamon and nutmeg spice.
Finish: Medium-length, with lingering oak, sweet malt, and light spice
The Glenlivet 12’s light, fruity, and vanilla-rich character pairs best with a mild-to-medium-bodied cigar that has creamy, nutty, and lightly spiced notes, enhancing the whisky’s smoothness.
Macanudo Café – A mild Dominican cigar with creamy vanilla, nuts, and a hint of cedar, complementing the whisky’s soft oak and fruit.
Ashton Classic – A mild-to-medium cigar with buttery smoothness, light spice, and toasted almond, balancing the whisky’s citrusy sweetness.
Montecristo White Series – A medium-bodied cigar with honeyed creaminess, toast, and subtle pepper, enhancing the whisky’s vanilla and oak.
