Taking a break from the limited or rare whiskies is a welcome change.
I remember in my infancy of whiskey tasting, I had a pour of Glenfiddich 14, neat and it was one of the first single malts I genuinely enjoyed neat. Hey, we all went through our chilled / on the rocks phase.
I saw a bottle of this stuff at one of my favorite local shops and decided to take a stroll down memory lane.
Sweet vanilla kicks off the nose. Candied citrus peel adds a vibrant and sweet hit then fades off to a little baking spice and caramel apple.
The taste is sweet and moderately fruity. Toffee, more of that caramel apple from the nose and vanilla swirl with bright spices and the faintest citrusy tartness.
The spice carries to the finish, with some tongue prickling cinnamon. Some charred oak lends just a tad bit of tannic dryness but not jarring.
Truly one of the better "affordable" single malt whiskies on the market. A superb value for money for a hidden gem.
