Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Distillery Edition

Just opened an older bottling and am absolutely furious!!! The un-natural cork has disintegrated. Now I have to wrap the neck in plastic and it will never evolve as it is meant to. Very disappointed. The whisky is top-notch!

The best single malt I've tasted from glenfiddich

21st November 2020

I love this with its focus on black pepper, with a background of cream cherry and rich fruit cake.
Enhanced by the addition of a wee drop of water.

Strong very strong

For me the start of the bottle was o.k, however not to write about. After two weeks to my surprise it became much better up to very good. At times I added some springwater, it got better and better, flowery, fresh, somewhat pepperish. Mouthcoating with flowers at the palate. Spices and sherry in the end. A good Glenfiddich, the better one!

Whisky, Spirit led taste, fresh, vibrant, & strong,non chilled filtered, natural colour, found adding a table spoon of water to a double measure in a whisky glass brought out much more taste for me, but great neat too

This whisky is basically Glenfiddich saying, yes most of our whiskies are chill filtered to appease the general market, but look we are capable of doing something extraordinary. This whisky will certainly be the reason that the craft of the spirit makes its return to the industry. Look there are reasons why glenfiddich is one of the best sellers out there, the whisky is good. Yes the criticism exists to push companies into producing a purer product but I have noted that people tend to ignore this one and continue to tarnish the reputation of a distillery that is actually overlooked in the world of experts. This is a damn fine dram. I won't be overlooking this expression. I have bought three bottles since. Glenfiddich uses direct fire stills which is one of the methods springbank uses and you don't hear anyone complaining about springbank. Good on glenfiddich for reaching a standard beyond what people thought they were capable of achieving.

It is a strong whisky and "playful". I don't like it in my first tasting. I don't add water in whisky but with 51% abv and the strong smoky peppery palate, adding water is recomended. Adding water can ruin the whisky. After a few failures, I seriously did some reseach and try it over and over again. Everyone may need some time to find how much water to add to fit their personal taste. My way to find it is to add water to the point that the smoky taste don't overwhelm the fruity sweetness. It can be fun.

The non chill filter process makes it turn cloudy when you add water and gives it the unique smooth texture.

Changes colour when you add ice or water. Felt like they were too many things going on at the same time.

First time I have tried this and wasn't sure why it was turning cloudy with a ice cube but still gives a nice taste.
