Flavour Profile
Review
This is a richer version of the Glenfiddich 12 or 15 year old versions and offers a nice balance of malt, fruit, wood, and spice with a smooth finish. While we enjoyed it, we felt is lacked a bit of punch at only 40% ABV and wished it came at cask strength. Nonetheless, its a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and approachable single malt.

This makes a great gift for a special milestone birthday or anniversary for someone looking to explore single malts in an approachable way. Given this is no smoke or maratime flavours this suits a very wide palate and is a solid choice for thos that like the Speyside style.
