Description

The first whisky of this age released by the Glenfiddich distillery, Excellence 26 Year Old is a very special release that was matured exclusively in American oak bourbon barrels for notes of vanilla and spice alongside classic Glenfiddich notes and a vein of oak running right through the middle.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

Very fruit driven nose. Green fruits with touches of passion fruit backed up with very well judged vanilla. There are floral overtones – jasmine?

Palate

Soft and plush on the palate. Liquorice, vanilla, toffee with cooked spices –nutmeg and cinnamon. Soft old leather and charred pineapple.

Finish

Medium to long. Pleasing warmth with some spice from the tannins.

Fantastic

Expensive. But outstanding.

Not great

I had a good few dram’s a of this whisky as my dad had bought a bottle. Over priced and not as good many other whiskys on the market of this age Glendronnach being one of them. If you put this next to a far cheaper and younger whisky I think many would not be able to tell the difference. At first I thought my dad had swapped it out for a cheaper bottle to test me, he hadn’t! Thumbs down from me.

A Gem!

Attended a WhiskyLive event in Louisville KY, several great selections but this one took the cake for me. One of the finest I've ever tasted.

Remortgaged my house and purchased two bottles,it is slightly sweet but beautifully balanced with a typical Glenfiddich smooth finish,very recommended
