Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old




The Valley of the Deer
“Oregon pine Solera Vat marries together whiskies matured in three types of casks. (Sherry, bourbon, and new oak casks)”
Region: Scotland Highlands
40% alc/vol

Color: light golden amber

Nose: delicate, faint, candied honey, vanilla.  Overall, a sweet bouquet.

Flavors: sweet light bodied honey, the vanilla on the nose follows with each sip, on the mid palate a bit of spice that reminds me of allspice, little peppery, just a hint of oak and sweet fansy raisin.

Body: medium body, slightly oily, mellow finish and aftertaste, smooth in an elegant way, every once in a while a slight burn,

To the Point: for this Scotch beginner (me) this is nice and smooth; the aftertaste is a bit too mellow, nice flavor when you pay attention to details.
