Distribution of ratings for this:
- Brand: Glenfiddich
- Type: Scotch
- Region: Speyside
- ABV: 40%
Nose: Malty and sweet, with some fruity qualities maybe some figs and apricots. A nice variation on the Glenfiddich DNA.
Palate:Apples, The figs and apricots from the nose make an appearance here as well, as well as sweet syrup, cinnamon and a zingy peppery edge.
Finish: Spices (Cinnamon), malt and wood notes that go some way. Medium length.
Bottom line:
All in all this is a lovely dram, nothing Excellent, but very good it is. I would again, ask Glenfiddich (Ian, please!) to consider bottling such limited expressions at 48% or more, since the 40% is nice, but not quite there. I am sure that this one would also be much better in all senses, especially mouth wise, at that ABV. Oh, one can hope!
