Glenfiddich
Scotland
Single Malt
This 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Glenfiddich's core range was matured in a mix of oloroso sherry and bourbon casks.
Loads of fruit. Zesty grapefruit, baked toffee apples. Dry, chocolate Flake-y wood and cinnamon.
Candied fruits and Glenfiddich freshness balances richer notes of dried apricot, more cinnamon and toffee, ginger and dry Sherry.
Peels and a touch of salted toffee.
A wonderfully rich and enjoyable Glenfiddich single malt.
Pear taste and sweet
This expression consists of Vatted whiskies rather than the much more commonplace Additional Cask Enhancement, which consists of finishing for a short period of time in a European cask. Vatting means that the whisky has spent long periods in Exbourbon and Exsherry casks separately and then brought together and married in a large Vat. Vatting creates deeper, richer, more intense flavours and greater complexity, which is what happens here with this 18 year old. A very very nice expression indeed, but it would be improved by increasing the alcohol strength to say 46%ABV as the additional strength would greatly enhance the flavour. I am sure most people would pay the additional premium for the improvement in flavour profile. Still that notwithstanding, this is a very nice expression.
Best I have ever tried yet. Price's fair enough too.
While I have read reviews both pro and con on the quality of the Glenfiddich 18 year old small batch offering, my personal reaction was to find this single-malt utterly delicious. Others’ comments cite lack of bite, while anothers’ comment on its floral/mild citrus character and milder smokiness. I suggest anyone doubting to invite a tasting of Speysides of similar age and price. The Glenfiddich 18 will hold its own and then some. I generally enjoy my scotch neat or with a quarter-spoon of filtered water. Cheers, David Louden (USN E9, retired)
Wow what can I say !! this is just fantastic, my absolute favourite of favourites, beautiful aromas of vanilla, rich dried fruit, apple, cinnamon and baking spices and much the same in the taste with a long sweet/spicy finish. Another flawless ,quality malt from Glenfiddich.
