Product Overview
The Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky Provence Edition Aged 12 Year
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 12 Years Old | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Floral, Fruity & Elegant
The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky that brings the classic smooth, fruit-forward character of The Glenlivet together with the sun-soaked influence of Provence. Aged for 12 years, this distinctive expression is selectively finished in French wine casks, including French sweet wine casks and Provence Cru Classé wine casks, creating an elegant bridge between traditional Scottish whisky craftsmanship and the character of Southern France.
The nose opens with vibrant white peaches in syrup, toasted almonds, lemon peel, orange marmalade, and delicate floral aromas. On the palate, juicy nectarines and ripe orchard fruits develop alongside layers of vanilla crème brûlée, marzipan, white chocolate, and subtle warming spice. The French wine cask finishing adds a graceful richness and fruit-driven complexity while maintaining the smooth, approachable style associated with The Glenlivet.
The finish is warm, floral, honeyed, and exceptionally smooth. Presented as a limited edition, Provence Edition offers a fresh interpretation of a classic 12-year-old Speyside single malt and is particularly appealing for enthusiasts who enjoy fruit-forward whiskies with elegant wine-cask influence.
