Tasting Notes

Nose

Quintessential Speyside — orchard fruits of green apple and sweet pear, honey influence, hints of lemony citrus, fresh and inviting, the accessibility that made it the world's number one

Palate

Clean and fresh — green fruits from the nose appearing on the palate, dark fruit character from the sherry casks adding depth, light and approachable at 40%, the ex-bourbon and sherry casks in harmony

Finish

Medium to short — bittersweet character, clean and leaving you wanting another sip, the simplicity that is Glenfiddich's greatest strength

Expert Review

7/10

The world's best-selling single malt Scotch — matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks at the distillery William Grant built stone by stone in 1887. Light, sunny, and unpretentious: the perfect starter whisky that excels in simplicity. Orchard fruits and soft honey.
