Glenfiddich 15 New Packaging with Ice Maker

Description

Glenfiddich 15 New Packaging is finally here in China.  After being launched in the UK in June 2019 and the same month for the USA markets, it was always going to be some months before it finally reached our shores.  But here it is.

Glenfiddich 15 New Packaging is a 15-year-old Scotch single malt, matured in American bourbon, Portuguese sherry, and virgin oak barrels.  It was then married in a Solera Vat.

Glenfiddich is a whisky that hardly needs an introduction. Operational since 1887, Glenfiddich revolutionized the world of single malt whisky – and Scotch whisky branding more generally – and continues to remain one of the top-selling single malt scotch whiskies in the world.

This isn’t just 3 more years maturation on their standard 12-year-old.  This is something so much more.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Stewed apple and a slightly tart, acrid scent overwhelm at the beginning of nosing.  Very dark caramelized wood and a lovely perfumed quality follow. As the whisky opens up, chewy toffee becomes apparent, transforming into the smell of overnight French toast—dense pumpernickel bread soaked in brown sugar and butter caramelizing together in perfect harmony.  The butter note sticks in the nose throughout the tasting experience.

Palate: On the palate, the gritty, nutty aspect of buckwheat plays with burnt caramel and clove. Dense and rich in mouthfeel, there is a particular kick ph that is captured in the whisky. The substantial, chewy nature of the whisky pairs well with the butter and honey that stretch across the palate. Lastly, fig rounds the experience.

Finish: The finish is slightly bitter, yet as soft and buttery as the nose. Mixed peppercorns and salted caramel play up the sweet and salty nature of the finish. Lingering and satisfying, grassiness retains a lasting foothold.
