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.
Smooth and easy to drink. No trace of spice. Quite alright. Good place to start if you are curious about single malt scotch . You might want to evolve to something else after this one.
Superb
By far the best bang for the buck among a type of whiskey that by nature can put a dent in the wallet. Scotch whiskey in general is something that most of us choose to pay the extra expense as it really is worth it and so enjoyable. I have had the privilege of sipping the really high dollar stuff and it is better but not 300 bucks better....not even close. GF 15 is my personal selection. It really comes down to what you enjoy in a single malt so disregard what others say and keep trying different types and go with what you enjoy in a scotch...you will find you tastes and preference evolve and change as you yourself age
One of my favourites.
Easy drinking malt. Slight suggestion of smoke on the nose. I can definitely taste the sweet sherry. For an easy drinking, quality malt, this is the one.
