The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition is a limited-edition Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from The Glenlivet's "Beyond Speyside" series. Aged for 12 years, this expression finishes a portion of traditional Speyside single malt in three distinct French wine casks: Château Sainte Marguerite Cru Classé Côtes de Provence white wine casks, Rivesaltes casks, and Sauternes casks. The result is a vibrant fusion of signature Glenlivet orchard fruits with elegant Provençal floral notes, citrus zest, and rich honey sweetness.

Food Pairing: Nutty Comté cheese, roasted peaches with honey and rosemary, peach tart (Tarte aux Pêches), or crème brûlée.

Tasting Notes : Bright golden amber in appearance with a smooth, silky, and elegant medium-bodied texture on the palate.

Nose : Aromatic white peach, nectarine, fresh pear, honeysuckle floral blossoms, sweet vanilla, and light almonds.

Palate : Layers of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, vanilla crème brûlée, toasted nuts, sweet marmalade, and delicate oak spice.

Finish : Smooth, long, and fruit-forward with lingering notes of floral honey, light spice, and soft oak.

Serve : Served neat at room temperature or with a few drops of water in a traditional Glencairn glass.
