Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl

Product Information

Nose: Initially I acquired strong notes of dark fruits especially berries in the way of raspberries. Vanilla also shows up in the beginning. With time, I noticed extended dark fruits in the way of raisins and plums. Spices are starting to appear: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice comes along in an oxidized nose.

Their Solera Vat, which has never been emptied and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, is the culmination of Glenfiddich’s inquisitive minds and pioneering spirit. This is also how the whisky became the first 15-year-old expression to hit the top 10 best-selling single malts.

The nose is fresh, light and enticing. Honey and citrous (especially oranges) hit me straight away from over a foot away as I hold the glass in my lap. Licorice, oak and floral notes become clear as the glass gets closer to my nose. As the glass reaches my nose and I breathe deeply I get a light cinnamon note as well. Really intriguing and mouth-watering. Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, our Solera Vat is the culmination of curious minds and the pioneering spirit of our family. I'm Going Home (Vou Para Casa) is a Portuguese movie that I just borrowed into the title because of the Portuguese oak tuns used in the Glenfiddich 15 year old.Taste: Sweet and spicy with dry elements. Sherry and oak are there but the taste doesn't even match up the average nose.

This is a lovely step up in the fiddich stable, this malt is a mixture of bourbon, sherry and Virgin oak casks mixed into a large vat ( solero vat) this large vessel is never actually emptied. Bottled at 40% which is a great shame because this is stunning at cask strength.. Sometimes we tend to overlook the big distillers in the pursuit of something different, but it's malts like this that remind you that when the big boys get it right, they really get it right. Finsih: not very complex, but the sweetness and spiciness linger for a good while. the interesting part is how long the warmth lasts, as it goes down like a river of warmness that lasts and lasts....These are notes from a tasting a while ago. I still stand behind them . . . although I feel like I might need to give this one another go again. Fairly sweet nose with a surprising touch of pine cones. Almonds and a hint of garden herbs go hand in glove with the obligatory fruit. Apples, oranges and a handful of gooseberries. I cannot help it, but when sniffing this, I get the color green in my mind’s eye.
