Product description
Glenfiddich is one of the most widely recognised single malt whisky brands.
Its name translates from Gaelic to “valley of the deer”. The distillery has been in operation since 1887 and currently distills 14 million litres of alcohol a year with 31 stills. The limited edition Toasted Oak Reserve 12 years old hit the market in 2006, shortly before Christmas. The whisky was aged in specially toasted first-fill bourbon barrels and bottled at a very “consumer” alcohol content of 40%.
Nose : fruity with strong notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, toffee, barley malt, apples, coconut flakes and a light trace of lavender.
Palate: sweet, vanilla cream, toffee, breakfast cereal, honey, burnt oak, delicate notes of spice and smoke.
Finish : medium long, mild, toffee, orchard fruit, a pinch of spice and a distant hint of peat smoke.
