Cognac casks carry residual Eaux-de-vie influence — grape-derived spirit with floral and stone fruit character — which interacts with the existing vanilla and floral Glenlivet spirit to produce a richer, more exotic nose and palate than the standard 12-year. The result is a Speyside single malt that rewards drinkers who appreciate the crossover between whisky and fine French spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/glenlivet\"\u003eGlenlivet collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exotic and rich — white peach, vanilla, dried apricot, floral honey, and a subtle Cognac-like grape note\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded and warming — stone fruit, caramel, a hint of grape sweetness, and integrated spice from the French oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long with lingering fruit, warm oak, and a gentle Cognac warmth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Glenlivet, Ballindalloch, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 Years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon and ex-sherry, finished minimum 6 months in ex-Cognac casks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Cognac cask finish make it taste like Cognac?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — the finish adds a grape-derived floral and stone fruit influence rather than making it taste like Cognac directly.
