Tastes

Having hard time finding the peat in there. I’d say it is very comparable to Highland Park 12 with added brininess and little bit of caramel

Really excited about trying it out, but not overly impressed with it. The nose is really rich and sweet but not very complex. The pallet is also very sweet and spice forward, but there’s really nothing much else to it. I thought the extensive age would round off most of the spice, but on the contrary it was still quite spice forward. It is a very easy drinking whiskey. It is uncomplicated good whiskey. These terms should used for a intro whiskey and not a 42 year old. I’m glad I got a sample from a friend because after tasting it I don’t think I would pay that much to acquire it. Pretty looking bottle though.

Definitely very oak forward. Dryer when compared to the standard Glenfiddich but still smooth with added spice and smoke. Still easy to drink though. At 40% ABV it does taste a bit flat but then again Glenfiddich has always been like that. Not bad but not impressed either.

Super easy drinking. Quite fruity on the nose. Very light smoke. Sweet creamy and fruity with good finish. Not sophisticated at all. Good intro bottle.

Got it as a gift. Very good whisky. Smoky and peaty with very clean finish. Different than the ardbeg 10, but can’t pin point what it is.

It is true like people said. Eating fruitcake by a campfire by the ocean. Taste better than the groove. Did not lose the much character as the groove. A little pricy for what it is though.
