Glenfiddich Cask Collection Vintage Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml
Glenfiddich's Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, has hand-selected the finest casks of European and American oak and married them in small batches to create a truly extraordinary single malt, the culmination of our coopers craft and skill.
Unusually for their collection, Glenfiddich Vintage is a lightly peated whisky. The European oak casks give it a vibrant, toffee apple character, while the American oak imparts layers of additional smoky embers and velvety vanilla smoothness.
We use our distinctive Cask Collection Solera vat to meld these complex flavours together, adding extra layers of richness, depth and complexity to create a smoky, characterful and lingering whisky with a delicate yet discernibly peaty note.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Golden barley.
Nose: Freshly cut straw and bonfire smoke recall an autumn evening. Smokiness and leafy, floral notes to intrigue and delight.
Taste: An initial burst of sweetness with vanilla, cr me br l e and citrus, immediately followed by a rush of smoke, burning embers and meadow flowers.
Finish: Long lasting floral and smoky notes.
"One of a trio of new whiskies that have spent time in Glenfiddich s new solera vats, this will surprise many because of its overt smokiness that s like a bonfire in a pear orchard ..." - Dave Broom, Whisky Advocate
