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.
My first venture into a higher quality of scotch. I am loyal to a fault and now I am not only a Solara reserve fan but truly a glenfiddich man, period.
I like this best of the regular Glenfiddichs and where I live, it is $15 cheaper than Balvenie. This is my any day whisky.
I enjoyed this one better that the 12 and 18 year. Honey and vanilla!
