Tastes

Yes please. Only had one small taste but it was beautiful. Elegant, smooth, and sophisticated. Love the slight peat, too.

This is great. I haven’t loved a Glenlivet before this, but I would definitely not decline a drink of this. Sweet, with toffee and caramel being upfront, followed by sweet corn and honey. Honestly reminds me more of a bourbon than a Scotch. As usual for me, if this had more peat, I would not complain.

Haven’t had this in years and boy am I glad they brought it back. This holds a special place in my heart as the end cap of my brother’s bachelor party that I planned almost 6 years ago now. Drinking this with a group of close friends whilst smoking cigars in the garage with the door open in a rain storm....it’s something I’ll never forget and will always look back on fondly. I LOVE the single malts this whiskey is made from, and I love the complexity of blending them all together. For the price, this is one of the best, if not the best, 15 year scotches out there. Lots of controlled smoke, which is my favorite tasting note lately. A light burn, with leather, mushrooms, and salted caramel that linger after each wonderful sip.

Fantastic pour. I expected more complexity, given that it’s aged in six different casks, but the barrels work more in symphony than in competition. Lots of sweet notes are apparent right off the bat, with a floral bite of apple and caramel with slight hints of cardamom and clove. Toffee and vanilla linger on the pallet. Personally, I don’t prefer this sweet of a taste profile, but I also would never complain if this was poured: when it’s done this well (and even more so when paired with a good cigar) what’s not to love.

Oh hello. Glad to finally meet you. Just had the slightest taste from a friend but was left wanting more at a time where I can properly enjoy it. An interesting combination of smooth, sweet and potent, kind of like getting lightly punched in the face with a cinnamon stick marinated in vanilla.

Found a super old bottle of this at my grandparent’s house. What a piece of history! Didn’t realize it was from the 70s. The bottle design is fantastic and intricate. A very interesting first sip—I can’t tell if it‘s due to not being stored properly or if this was how it’s meant to taste, but it has an incredibly strong bite right off the bat, more so than even most bourbons I’ve had. I would never think this was a Scotch. Once the bitter heat fades, it transforms into a wave of salt, caramel, and mushroom. Not my favorite whiskey, but as always, better to have tried it than to not have drank at all!

Again, this is very sweet but packs more of a bite than it’s older brothers. I love how long the taste lingers on the palate. I wouldn’t seek a bottle of this out, but I very much enjoyed the taste I was able to have tonight.

Excellent. This is the first I’ve heard of this offering and it’s easily my favorite Glenfiddich I’ve had. Has a non-overpowering sweetness to it while still keeping a complexity about it. Candied almonds and white grape stand out to me, with some salt towards the end. I love this and would never refuse a pour.

This is an excellent whiskey that I can appreciate. I yearn for more flavors of peat, spice, and saltiness, and this has very little of any of those (which is pretty consistent with Glenfiddich if I’m correct). While this doesn’t exactly fit my taste, I can see its appeal. Notes of sweet fruit and caramel apple are most prominent to me.
