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.

Perfectly pleasant but without being anything distinctive. I'd sooner go for the 12yr old over this.

I thought this was ok .. but Balvennie Double Wood is better and therefore with the price in mind I probably wouldn't get this again. Not bad though .
What a crap for 15 years of age. Saw some good reviews and got 25% off the regular price, so I thought I'll give it a try. But I am really disappointed, it is quite bad and I would not recommend it.
I bought it on sale with two glasses. Did not expect much from it but I have to say I was still a bit disappointed for a 15 year old malt. It is just not expressive overall. Like 2 to 3 times less expressive than a Glendronach or Tyrconell sherry if I had to quantify. Maybe some time in the botlle will make it open up a bit ? For now it tastes quite bland and unexpressive, even thought it's pretty smooth and easily drinkable. I'd recommend spending your money on something more authentic and flavorful.
