Tasting note

Colour

Rich golden.

Nose

A rich and vibrant aroma with deep vanilla oak notes. Buttery, toffee sweetness, honey and candied orange. There are more subtle floral and fresh pear notes that develop over time and just a hint of fresh citrus.

Taste

Silky smooth with an amazing depth of sweetness. Mouth coating tannin and soft vanilla oakiness. Fresh blossom honey with creamy toffee and barley sugar.

Finish

Exceptionally mellow and sweet with a lingering oakiness.

Extra information

This exceptional Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky belongs to our Glenfiddich Rare Collection.

This exclusive micro-vatting is a result of a very close collaboration between Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich's sixth Malt Master, and Thierry Benitah, Director of La Maison du Whisky. It was created through an assemblage of a small number of outstanding casks, hand selected by our Malt Master because of their quality and character.

The resulting Single Malt is an extraordinary whisky that brings together the excepetional flavours and aromas of each of its component parts and layers them into an incredibly complex and balanced experience on the nose and palate.
