Glenfiddich 18 year old Small Batch Reserve, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
This was aged in a mixture of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, followed by a final spell of marrying in wooden tuns. Dried fruits, dark chocolate, figs, and cinnamon on the nose. The palate yields rich caramel and toffee-apple notes, plus ginger, cloves, and medium sherry. More dried fruits, cookies, and a sprinkling of allspice in the slightly smoky, medium to long finish.
