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 sweet. Non whiskey drinkers have been converted after trying this!
Hot and smoky and a snip at £33 at Sainsburys today!
I have been drinking whisky since my late teens and am now 56. Glenfiddich was always at home when I was growing up and I have always had a few bottles in my cabinet. For the past few years I have been trying lots of different brands, including some very expensive so called top brands. This solera 15 is my staple go to whisky and the one I seem to choose over the 18 other brands I have.It has a wonderful complex aroma and taste with a good long finish that I never grow tired of. Over the years I have come to realise that Glenfiddich ,despite its size is and excellent and consistently high quality distillery, something that lots of others can’t aspire to. Excellent whisky from an excellent family owned distillery.
An excellent Whisky. Lovely notes of citrus and spice and tastes of fruitcake and Christmas. Very smooth, no harshness at all. Faint Oak taste at the end. I love this Malt, much prefer it over the 18 year old. Great price
