Finally opened The Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve I got back in January for my birthday. GREAT malt. At first it is very similar to the Glenlivet 12 but the more experienced drinker will notice the vanilla, cinnamon, raisin flavors. This scotch is also very buttery/creamy. The 15 is a bit smoother than the 12 as well. Another good one!
