Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 18 Year Old
Out of stock
A now delisted version of the 18 year old with "Ancient Reserve" on the label and the one that comes in the green cardboard tube.
Matured in Oloroso Sherry and traditional Bourbon casks.
"Sublimely mellow with an elegant nose, with scents of apple and wood. It is robust and full bodied, yet remarkably mellow. It has a slightly sweet palate, perfectly balanced by subtle oak and a delicate maltiness."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with pronounced mahogany and coppery highlights, a warm, sun-kissed hue that hints at the Oloroso sherry influence and long oak maturation.
Nose
Elegant, mellow nose with crisp apple and polished oak, hints of rich Oloroso sherry sweetness, softly woven with malt and wood oils. A refined aroma that promises balance and warmth.
Palate
Robust and full-bodied on the palate, yet remarkably mellow. A slightly sweet core sits against subtle oak, with a delicate maltiness weaving through. Sherry cask maturity adds a touch of richness, while bourbon cask influence keeps the sweetness balanced and refined, leaving a clean, lingering finish.
Finish
Sherry-softened warmth lingers long, as apple and dried fruit give way to subtle vanilla and oak. A mellow, malt-kissed finish unfolds slowly, with a gentle spice lingering and a refined sweetness fading into the glow of oak.
