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.
This is not top-of-the-range spectacular, but it has plenty of interesting notes of spice and sweet, and a hint of smoke from the age, and it retails for a pleasantly non-spectacular price...you can't go wrong with it...more so because it's produced in quantity by the Glenfiddich boys, despite the supposed individual cask selection, so there's consistency, which a lot fail on
a quality sherried dram this and out of a vat too. These solera vats are very important to keep the product the same, and the same is great. A whisp of smoke in the finish along with oak and sherried spices. A tang of orange peel too. hard to fault at its price, which for a 15 yr old is damn good. struth
Its a lovely drop. Soothing Refined and well priced. One of my go to gentler malts.
Smooth, easy drinking and refined complex flavours. You’ll never regret deciding to choose this whisky over something else in your collection.
Profumo intenso, allo stesso tempo delicato ma deciso, un ottimo dram un 15enne superlativo.
