A 15 year old single malt Scotch from Glenfiddich Distillery, made up of whiskies matured in American bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak. Inspired by the classic sherry-making bodegas of Spain and Portugal, the 15-year-old whiskies are left to mellow and intensify in a solera vat, a large oak vat that hasn't been emptied since 1998.
Sherry, citrus - orange in particular, dry wood. Slight suggestion of smoke?
Medium, Sherry, raisins. Fruitcake, spices, sweetness.
Candied fruits, raisins, spices, Christmas pudding, oak takes over.

Glenfiddich gets a lot of flak for being so big and prominent in so many markets, but there is a reason they are so prominent: THEY MAKE AMAZING WHISKY. I would love to see how this would compare in a blind tasting to those other "oh no e-150" and "it's non chill filtered and bottled at 46%" Distilleries Whisky snobs usually hang on the balls of. I get it some other distilleries are doing things a little bit different and more transparent but it still doesn't ensure your product is better. I've sampled some very rare and old Scotch and Irish Whiskeys that were thin and horrible. With Glenfiddich you will always get the same product thru and thru, and that consistency is commendable. If you are oh-so-wise then maybe go and read the story of Glenfiddich and realize the marketing forethought and genius of one man guaranteed this distillery an international following and market share second to very few others out there.
I’ve had this bottle (opened) for a little over a year now. It is an enjoyable dram, I’m preferring the 2nd half of the bottle - more flavor, for whatever reason. On the nose, candied fruit and definitely cherry. The sherry influence shines through, a bit of a dry mouthfeel (different to that of the 12 yo), but pleasant taste with all spice quite evident. A lingering, slightly peppery finish.
I've never understood why Glenfiddich sell so much whisky..I find it a bit meh.I tried this 15 yo Solera hoping to find something special.while you can taste the sherry influence,I just find it like the other Glenfiddichs but with a sherry influence.It wasn't unpleasant,just middle of road,spicy with nothing particularly bad and nothing particularly exceptional.Its a safe middle of the road whisky,perhaps thats why you can get it everywhere.It must be popular or they wouldn't shift it..I personally find it a bit boring.
Nice smooth taste, half the bottle was gone n no time. Wouldn’t drink it regularly at that price but a nice dram!
Perfectly pleasant but without being anything distinctive. I'd sooner go for the 12yr old over this.
