Glenfiddich Gran Cortes XXII Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 22 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery edges and mahogany undertones, a warm, sunset-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent and refined, the nose unfolds sherry-soaked richness: fig, raisin and dried apricot mingle with almond, walnut and orange zest. Subtle vanilla and toffee weave through toasted oak, while a delicate cacao note and a whisper of leather add depth, signature of a Palo Cortado finish on a Speyside classic.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, this Gran Cortes XXII delivers a lush wave of dried fruit—fig, date, raisin—layered with toffee, dark chocolate, and a nutty almond note from the Palo Cortado finish. Spices rise softly—cinnamon, clove—with a subtle orange zest and polished oak. A velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel leads to a long, warm, refined finish.

Finish

Opulent and long, the finish coats the palate with dark fruit, cocoa and toasted almond, a whisper of orange zest. Palo Cortado sherry casks impart nutty, oxidative depth—leather and cedar spice—winding into a warm, velvety tail and a refined, contemplative glow.
