🥃🥃 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Bright golden amber with polished honey and warm straw highlights, presenting an elegant appearance that reflects its refined French wine cask finishing.
Aroma:
Delicate and immediately inviting, opening with white peaches in syrup, toasted almonds, and fragrant floral meadow notes. Vanilla sweetness develops underneath alongside soft orchard fruit and subtle honey, creating an aromatic profile reminiscent of a warm Provençal afternoon.
Palate:
Silky, sweet, and beautifully layered:
Juicy nectarine provides a vibrant stone-fruit opening
White peach reinforces the whisky's ripe fruit character
Vanilla crème brûlée introduces rich, creamy sweetness
Marzipan contributes an elegant almond character
White chocolate creates a soft and luxurious mid-palate
Toasted almond adds gentle nutty complexity
Floral notes bring freshness and aromatic lift
French sweet wine casks contribute additional richness and ripe fruit
Provence Cru Classé casks introduce a refined vinous dimension
Honeyed sweetness balances the delicate oak and fruit
The 80 Proof bottling maintains The Glenlivet's signature smooth and approachable texture
Finish:
Warm, floral, and exceptionally smooth, with lingering floral honey, ripe stone fruit, vanilla, almond, and delicate wine-cask sweetness. The finish remains elegant rather than heavy, leaving behind a gentle combination of fruit and flowers.
With its 12-year age statement, French sweet wine and Provence Cru Classé cask finish, Château Sainte Marguerite connection, and limited-edition Beyond Speyside designation, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition offers a sophisticated new interpretation of one of Speyside's most recognizable single malts. It brings together more than two centuries of Scottish whisky craftsmanship with the elegant fruit, flowers, and wine culture of southern France—a distinctive release for Glenlivet enthusiasts and adventurous Scotch drinkers alike.
Description
The Glenlivet 12 Year Provence Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750mL) — Limited-Edition 12-Year Speyside Single Malt Finished in French Sweet Wine & Provence Cru Classé Casks
Experience the elegance of Speyside with a distinctly French accent in The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a limited-edition expression inspired by the sun-drenched vineyards, floral landscapes, and relaxed sophistication of Provence. Part of The Glenlivet's innovative Beyond Speyside Series, Provence Edition takes the distillery's famously smooth and fruit-forward 12-year-old single malt and introduces an elegant secondary influence from exceptional French wine casks.
After its extended Scotch whisky maturation, the whisky is selectively finished in French sweet wine casks and prestigious Provence Cru Classé wine casks. The finishing program includes exceptional casks from Château Sainte Marguerite, bringing an additional layer of floral fragrance, ripe stone fruit, honeyed sweetness, and creamy complexity to The Glenlivet's signature orchard-fruit style.
Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Provence Edition delivers a beautifully approachable combination of white peach, nectarine, toasted almond, vanilla crème brûlée, marzipan, white chocolate, and floral honey. The result is an elegant limited release that preserves the unmistakable smoothness of The Glenlivet while introducing a sophisticated Provençal character unlike anything found in the classic 12 Year Old.
