Tasting Notes

Nose

Toffee and orchard fruit with a layer of dried apricot and date, subtle nuttiness from the Madeira influence, vanilla oak beneath, faint floral Speyside character holding through

Palate

Soft and round at 40% — sweet barley, honeyed pear, walnut and brown sugar from the fortified wine cask, light spice of cinnamon and nutmeg, gentle and unhurried

Finish

Medium length — drying nuttiness, lingering raisin sweetness, the Madeira signature settling in cleanly

Expert Review

8.2/10

Part of Glenfiddich's Age of Discovery range — nineteen years in American oak then finished in Madeira wine casks from Portugal. A nod to the Madeira trade routes opened by Portuguese explorers, bringing fortified wine influence to the Valley of the Deer.
