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.
Heaven is like this. Wonderfully balanced with a nice dry finish begging you to take the next sip. Hard to put it down.
Glenfiddich 12 Yo was an intro to the whisky world for me. Very easy one to enjoy but complex enough to see the difference between regular blends and single malt. After a couple of years I was curious how the older brother might taste so I tried the 18 yo. Well for me it is just not worth the money. It seem s tome like a bit better version of the 12 yo. So bold with no finish. I think it is overpriced a big time. You can get Macallan, even the lowest one, and it will give you more joy. Ale for the same money you can get my favourite Glenmorangie Nectar d or and you will enjoy lot more than this. For me it is a big disappointment I have got to say.
This one is really easy and very very good. I only wish the finish would be longer...
Initially, I was a little underwhelmed by this. I am a huge fan of Glenfiddich - though less so than The Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, Glendronach or Bunahabhain. Nonetheless, I expected an 18 yr old to have complexity, depth and character. The nose is a little flat, the dominant aroma being a slightly spicy toffee. It doesn't really fill the glass (or the senses) though. The palate is mostly vanilla, quite strong chocolate, a little citrus (more pomelo than grapefruit). It is smooooooth on the tongue and goes down with no burn or unpleasant pepperiness. very balanced, a bit like a Kavalan Podium but with a bit more oak (quite a compliment to Kavalan by the way). Hold it in the mouth for a minute or so though, run it around your gums a few times, swallow, then open your mouth and.......aaaaahhh. The chocolate, vanilla, pepper, ginger. This is actually a pretty bloody good dram, made for late night drinking with a friend or better still, alone when nobody is distracting you. reminds me a bit of the Glenmorangie Signet at a fraction of the price and with a little more bite.
Saw a review @whisky.com but it didnt live up to the complements. Nice dram, but not nearly as complex as an 18 Year old drop should be in my opinion. Highend pricewise not so highend sherry-whisky-wise.
