Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that delivers exceptional smoothness without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist, I can confidently say the Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak represents everything that makes Speyside whisky legendary. This premium expression undergoes a unique double maturation process in both traditional oak and American first-fill oak casks, creating layers of complexity that rival expressions like the Glenlivet 15 Years. The double cask finishing sets it apart from other regional offerings such as the Speyburn Bourbon Cask, delivering additional sweetness and creamy vanilla notes.

• Distillery: The Glenlivet (est. 1824) – Scotland’s original single malt
• Region: Speyside – renowned for elegant, fruit-forward character
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for both newcomers and connoisseurs
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 12 years in traditional oak, finished in American first-fill oak casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose of candied orange and sweet vanilla; palate reveals creamy toffee, honeyed apples, and subtle spice; finish is smooth with lingering sweetness
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass or with a splash of room-temperature water to open aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly approachable yet sophisticated, making it perfect for those transitioning from blends to single malts. The double oak maturation adds remarkable depth typically found in older, pricier expressions.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year celebrations, corporate gifting, and building your home bar foundation. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian dishes like beef rendang, dark soy char siu, and even buttery curry puffs. Recommended for: Whisky enthusiasts exploring Speyside’s diversity—consider pairing with the Singleton Exotic Spice Grove for an enlightening regional comparison.
