🥃 The Glenlivet Double Oak 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Glenlivet Double Oak 12 Years Old is a refined Speyside single malt whisky that emphasizes dual cask maturation — initially matured in traditional oak casks, followed by further aging in American oak barrels. This process adds extra layers of vanilla, oak spice, and depth to The Glenlivet’s signature smooth, fruity profile.
