Description
We use fine Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak to mature this rich, intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression, but there are many more reasons why this expression is special.
As much as 65% of Glenfiddich 18 year character comes from the wood it’s matured in —which is why Glenfiddich is one of the only distillers left to own an on-site cooperage—so our craftsmen can tend to every cask throughout maturation.
Glenfiddich 18 year undergoes a traditional vatting that combines Bourbon and Sherry wood, and is then married for at least three months in exceptionally small, individually numbered batches. This provides a unique depth and complexity that has been acclaimed by experts and has garnered a host of coveted industry awards.
Color | Dark gold.
NOSE | Elegant, with scents of apple and wood. It is robust and full bodied, yet remarkably mellow.
TASTE | Slightly sweet palate, perfectly balanced by subtle oak and a delicate maltiness. The finish is incredibly smooth and lengthy, with a dryness at the end.
FINISH | Warming, rewarding and distinguished.
