Glenfiddich Malt Liqueur: Honey honey!

By Miguel in Tasting , Glenfiddich

Maybe the fucking Mayans were right… maybe not ( Liars! I want my money back!) but I decided to do something nice and special on December, 20th… just in case

So I went into my wardrobe and grabbed a bottle of something from the past, something hard to find anymore and something good.

glenfiddich-malt-liqueur

Error 404: Bottle not found! Just kidding. I grabbed this bottled of Glenfiddich instead.

This liqueur is a mix of Glenfiddich and tons of honey, and I mean tons and tons of honey. For sure they have discontinued it because there was no more honey in Scotland.

How is it like?! I hear you cry.
Let me show it with a song…

Here is the proper tasting note.

“Honey! Honey! Oh Man! Very nice. One of the best liqueurs I have had and definitively has lots of Glenfiddich inside”

86
Glenfiddich Malt Whisky Liqueur
Glenfiddich Liqueur is outstanding, neither too rich nor too sweet.

It maintains the traditional softness of a liqueur, but is enhanced by the warmth of oak casks and the subtle taste and aroma of Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The spicy, honey flavour is perfect over ice in summer or drunk neat for a warming winter, after-dinner digestif.

You better stock up bottles of this one as it is discontinued. You have been warned.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (81): average. honey, citrus, floral, spices.

Palate (89): smooth, oily. sweet, honey, malt, citrus, spices, wood.

Finish (87): average. honey, honey.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfiddich Malt Whisky Liqueur with 86 points over 100.

Miguel says…

It is a very nice liqueur. In fact it is the best that I have tasted. Really I don’t understand what could make Glenfiddich stop producing it.

The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show 2012 took place at October 6th and 7th and although it has been a great experience it has been a short one. With over 450 whiskies to taste and just barely six hours ahead it was impossible to taste them all.

What I couldn’t taste

This post is just a set of photos of what I couldn’t taste. Sorry, people… I can write about this because I get sad… so great stuff that I had to skip… *sniff*

I visited Compass Box stand for saying hi to Chris and I take a few photos with the people on the show.

Glenfiddich 18 years old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Glenfiddich

“A rather good whisky with a great taste. Love the honey and floral notes of this Glenfiddich.”

90
Glenfiddich 18 year
Our master craftsmen have created a complex, mellow single malt Scotch whisky from years of patient maturation in casks of the finest Oloroso sherry and American bourbon. It is secreted away in our traditional warehouse, where the cool, thick stone walls and low ceilings mature the whisky to perfection. Years later what emerges is a Glenfiddich 18 Year Old with an elegant nose, faintly sweet, scented with apple and wood. It is robust and full-bodied, yet remarkably soft, rounded and long lasting.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): strong. floral, honey, citrus, liquorice, dates, dark chocolate.

Palate (91): smooth, oily, powerful. peaches, floral, wood, spices, honey, vanilla, citrus, a little espresso.

Finish (89): long. floral, wood, a little pears.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfiddich 18 year with 90 points over 100.
