Exemplifying their family’s tradition of innovation, this 15 Year Old expression is created using a technique pioneered by Malt Master and its warm, spicy flavours are transformed with the alchemy of the Solera Vat.
Aged in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, the whisky is mellowed in our unique Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal.
Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, this Solera is the culmination of curious minds and the pioneering spirit of our family.
It’s also the secret behind this whisky becoming the first 15 year old expression to enter the top ten best selling single malts.
Jim Murray rated this Glenfiddich a 94.5/100 in his 2015 whisky bible. Describing it as 'something of the old fashioned fruit salad candy about this but with a small degree of toffee just rounding of the edges'.
Nose: Sherry and citrus, in particular orange. Dry wood with a slight hint of smoke.
Palate: Medium with more sherry, raisins and fruitcake with warming spices and a delicious sweetness to it.
Finish: Candied fruits with raisins and a kick of spice. Christmas pudding but oak soon takes over.
