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.
What a great Scotch...sweet, deep, rich, and smooth. I taste a deep flavor of dried fruits and a hint of honey. Again, smooth. You can't go wrong with Glenfiddich, the 12 yr is solid too. But the Solera gives you more 'depth' in flavor. When it's on 'sale' I always grab a bottle...it's worth it!
I denifintely find mild smoke in it... whiskyexchange rates it at 0 smoke weird.
Sweet, very smooth and probably the nicest whisky I've tasted. For me, it's perfect.
Great dram. One of the best single malts money can buy. An absolute must for single malt drinkers.
On first pour a sweet, smooth, woody, Christmas cake of a whisky with quite a dry finish. With very little oxygenation the wood and dryness dissipate and the whisky sweetens and mellows. A very nice characterful whisky and pretty good value for money.
