Glenfiddich 15 years old Solera Reserve Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Oct,20 in Tasting , Glenfiddich

“Naked Glenfiddich: so much heather and honey.”

Immensely popular Glenfiddich variant.

Using a Solera system common in the maturation of quality sherry, malt from three different types of casks is married together in a wooden vat, which is constantly topped up to ensure the quality is maintained.

This is an awesome whisky from this Speyside distillery with lots of honey and flowers. A great value single malt.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (91): strong. peaches, apples, dates, honey, floral, a little nuts.

Palate (91): smooth, oily, powerful. fruity, floral, wood, smoke, honey, liquorice.

Finish (89): long. liquorice, floral, a little honey.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfiddich 15 year with 90 points over 100.
