Glenfiddich Spirit of a Nation Whisky 29 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and subtle mahogany undertones—a rich, wine-dark glow.

Nose

Sherried perfume unfurls in a refined bouquet: dark plum and fig, roasted almond and orange zest, glints of treacle and toffee. Rich spice—cinnamon, nutmeg—drifts over polished oak and leather, with cacao and tobacco deepening the finish. An elegant, aged sweetness lingers, befitting a rare single-cask Glenfiddich.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, it coats the palate with lush sherry sweetness—figs, dates, and cocoa, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Notes of toasted almond and caramelized sugar mingle with polished oak. Orange zest peeks through, lifting the mid-palate. Long, velvety finish with warmth, espresso hints, and a persistent dried-fruit sweetness.

Finish

Silky, elongated finish that lingers with Sherry-enhanced dark fruit—prune, fig and raisin—honeyed with cocoa and toasted almond. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—adds warmth, with a hint of orange zest. Oak and caramel weave through, fading to a soft, luxurious sweetness that lingers long on the palate.
