Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich orchard fruit and stewed pear, French oak vanilla, candied orange peel, dried apricot and a faint perfumed grape note from the Cognac cask, baked apple tart

Palate

Silky and confident at 43.8% — toffee and honey, layered dried fruit, oak tannin in measured doses, brown sugar, hints of cocoa and ginger, weighted but graceful

Finish

Long and warming — French oak spice, dried fig, lingering vanilla and a quiet Cognac sweetness that draws out the close

Expert Review

9/10

Twenty-six years in American and European oak, then finished in French Cognac casks. Part of the Grand Cask series alongside the 23 Grand Cru and 21 Gran Reserva. A regal Glenfiddich at 43.8% — orchard fruit meets the dried fruit and oak of fine Cognac.
