Glenfiddich The Original

This bottle was absolutely the smoothest, most wonderful tasting scotch I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. I will always remember this particular batch as one of the best tasting Scotches of all time. My thanks to Glenfiddich for such a great experience.

And I'll try my best to explain why I think so.

If you go in with the expectation of trying something game changing, you will get disappointed, however... if you consider what this whisky is trying to do, you should at the very least give it the benefit of the doubt.

The Original is Glenfiddich's attempt at taking us back in time, back when a single malt wasn't common, back when blended whisky was 'whisky' - this here's something fresh.

And oh my is it fresh, this is by far the most pleasantly fruity, smooth and almost elegant whisky I've had in recent memory. This single malt is quite a few steps above Glenfiddich's 12 year old, due to the nice experience it manages to deliver... with that being said, I am not too keen on the pricing.

I do stand by my praise of this malt, but the pricing is also my only real complaint, it's a tad too steep for what it is.

tl;dr - Pretty decent malt, although mind the price, you should only buy this if you're interested in trying something interesting (history-wise) or want a splendid whisky for beginners.

Watery, no character. Forgettable.

As the title says this isn't with 120$ here in Canada many more worthy drinks out there for less money
