Glenfiddich Reserve Cask

The Glenfiddich Cask Collection is a new range for the global traveler. Three expressions were released: Select Cask, Reserve Cask and Vintage Cask. Let me try the Reserve Cask, which matured on oloroso sherry casks that were married in their large solera vat.

I get a lot of sherry influence on the nose: cooked fruit (mostly apples), marzipan and loads of oranges. A tad zesty, even. But surprisingly dry.

On the palate, it starts out dry as well. Like green tea. Loads of oak. Then a big helping of pepper. Warm vanilla and soft citrussy notes.

The finish is medium long and dry.

Not my favorite Glenfiddich, but very affordable with a price tag of only 43 EUR (in the duty free – in regular shops I have seen it from 65 to even 85 EUR).
