Glenfiddich Spirit Of Speyside Whisky Festival Whisky 22 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany depths and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Intense sherry-driven aroma with burnt sugar and dried fig, blackberry and raisin. Rich vanilla and polished oak weave through chocolatey malt, toasted almond, and toffee. Zest of orange adds brightness, while clove and cinnamon sprinkle warmth. A refined, velvety bouquet that speaks of rare Speyside maturation and quiet, lingering spice.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate driven by rich sherry sweetness: raisin, fig and dried cherry with orange zest. Dark chocolate, espresso and toasted oak mingle with cinnamon and clove, delivering warmth. Concentrated yet refined, the 53% ABV lends brightness to a long, opulent finish, with drying tannins and lingering resinous spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with stewed fruit, dark chocolate and roasted almond, carried by warm cinnamon and vanilla oak. Sherried sweetness lingers as a mellow heat threads through, leaving a silky, resinous afterglow that fades to a quiet cedar-tinged finish.
