“Was bought a bottle of this by my son & daughter for my 60th birthday - always liked Glenfiddich (even though I tend to drink others nowadays), but this one has been pretty awesome - even managed to eke it out until (almost) 61st birthday! Most enjoyable!”

Description

This 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Glenfiddich's core range was matured in a mix of oloroso sherry and bourbon casks.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Loads of fruit. Zesty grapefruit, baked toffee apples. Dry, chocolate Flake-y wood and cinnamon.

Palate

Candied fruits and Glenfiddich freshness balances richer notes of dried apricot, more cinnamon and toffee, ginger and dry Sherry.

Finish

Peels and a touch of salted toffee.

Overall

A wonderfully rich and enjoyable Glenfiddich single malt.

It would take hours for me to find all the proper words of praise for this adult beverage.

Noting to write home about.

Not very complex, light watery feel mouth, finish is short bit of spice.

Disappointed

It's the most generic name in Scotch there is. I bought a bottle a few years ago, thought somewhere between "meh" and "yuck", and proclaimed I'd never get another one. I finally decided to give it another chance, assuming I'd regret it and get to write mean things, but disappointingly it's quite excellent. I don't know if it's year-to-year variation or if my palate has just changed (I remember a lot of bitterness, and can't find any bitterness at all this time), but this is one of my favorites in recent memory. It's sweet, smooth, fruity (without being overly-so), fresh, a little spiced/oaky, and easy. The MoM taste notes have it right on the money. Definitely an excellent beginner Scotch, but has plenty for the Lagavulin-loving connoisseur as well. (no smoke, don't get me wrong there!). I feel almost guilty rating it a 9; I'd probably give it full marks if it weren't for the brand, but I'm sure Glenfiddich will do just fine regardless, so take that! For the record, my bottle says 43% ABV. Batch 3308. Purchased in USA.

Surprising

I did not expect anything outsanding, knowing how standard and plain the Glenfiddich 12 tastes. What a surprise. The nose is highly vegetal and fruity, I definitely agree on the baked apples. Then the palate is so balanced, very fruity and gently. Again, notes of apples. The finish is long and smooth, with still the apples. Great. But definitely not worth 74 EUR. Not worth more than 50.

Good stuff

Novice to whisky, first bottle I purchased was Balvenie 12 and thought it's was decent. Today I purchased the Glenfiddich 18 and wow much better. I guess I'll keep exploring varieties and enjoying.
