Glenfiddich Solera Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 15 Year Old

Colour

Gleaming deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and a whisper of mahogany at the edge.

Nose

Layered and inviting, the nose opens with vanilla-laced toffee from Bourbon, blended with a soft sherry lift of prune, fig and orange zest. Almond, cocoa nibs and toasted oak weave through, with cinnamon and nutmeg adding a warm spice. A refined sweetness lingers, finished by a delicate oak polish that hints at the trio of casks.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this 15-year-old unfolds with creamy vanilla and almond from the Bourbon and New Oak, while rich Sherry notes of fig, raisin and cocoa weave through dried fruit sweetness. Spice notes of cinnamon and clove lift the mid-palate, tempered by toasted oak. The finish is long, warm and elegant, leaving a refined echo of wood and sherry.

Finish

Long, silky finish that drapes sherried dark fruit with vanilla and spice. Fig and raisin linger alongside a touch of caramel from the Bourbon cask, while toasted oak and a cocoa whisper tease the palate. A refined warmth persists, tapering to a soft, elegant dryness.
