Nose | An intriguingly complex aroma. Sweet heather honey and vanilla fudge combined with rich dark fruits. |
Palate | Silky smooth, revealing layers of sherry oak, marzipan, cinnamon and ginger. Full-bodied and bursting with flavour. |
Finish | Satisfyingly rich with lingering sweetness. |
After initially being matured in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, this whisky is then mellowed in Glenfiddich’s unique handcrafted Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas used in Spain and Portugal. The distinctive warm and spicy flavour profile created by this process has helped this whisky become the first 15 year old expression to break into the top ten best selling single malts.
