Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve 18 Years Old
Distillery: GlenfiddichStyle: Single Malt
Release: Unspecified
Age: 18 Years
Alcohol: 40% abv.
Region: Scotland, Highlands
Bottled For: Distillery
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 Ancient Reserve with an elegant nose, faintly sweet, scented with apple and wood. It is robust and full-bodied, yet remarkably soft, rounded and long lasting.

Perfect sherry subtleness, but a little too sour. Water helped, but brings out more of the grassy sourness.

Color: Amber
Nose: Cooked fruit, heather, some wisps of peat and wheat cracker; a little rubbery.
Body: Full and creamy
Palate: Sweet cooked prunes and honey; gets quickly drier with lightly charred oak and spice with some pepper. Well balanced with good transitions.
Finish: Long finish slightly dry oak and toasted cereal with very light wisps of smoke
