Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera Reserve

This one has a powerfully fruity nose. Smells of slightly old raspberries mixed in with a little citrus zest. The taste carries with it sweet honey and has a bit of a malty mouthfeel that, when mixed with the honey, reminds me of honey nut cheerios a bit. As the taste goes down and blossoms into the finish you catch something just a bit tannic and slightly musty, like an old leather jacket. When the taste is long done, there's a wisp of peat smoke that dances off the tip of your tongue, almost unnoticeable. I had to take a second drink to confirm its presence. This is just fine for what is essentially a wine cask selection. It isn't too fruit forward on the taste, despite what the nose tells you.

One of my favorites, fruit on the nose. Smooth vanilla and honey on the tongue, deeper flavors move throughout each sip and finishes with some oaky char flavor.

Incredibly smooth and balanced with a sweet but fruity finish. An easy drinker considering the aging and quality craftsmanship.
