Whisky Discovery #14


Glenfiddich 18 Year Old (40% abv, OB, Bottled +/- 2011 70cl)
Speyside Single Malt Whisky
Circa £40

June's second bottle
A Birthday treat from son, Carl. Patiently matured in the Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, before being married in small batches to create an extraordinarily smooth, rich and mellow single malt.

Married for at least three months in small, individually numbered batches in wooden tuns, the Glenfiddich 18 Year Old has a unique depth and complexity that has been acclaimed in the industry.

Nose: Remarkably rich aroma with ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and a robust oakiness
Taste: Richly delivers luxurious dried fruit, candy peel and dates overlaid with elegant cinnamon notes
