Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera Reserve

Lighter taste, very little bite

Some fruitiness on the nose. Taste light sweetness, creamy, and a hint of smoke. Some spiciness on the finish. Added a little water, get a floral aroma, a touch of leather on the taste.

90点。スパイシーなシェリー香。林檎のような甘く華やかな香りでフルーティだが意外とドライ。香り、テイストにシェリーを強く感じる。複雑だが、ミディアムボディで飲みやすい

I was reluctant to revisit Glenfiddich's Solera 15 because I sensed I would be disappointed. Did I change? Did the whisky change? Probably both. Gentle and delicate fruit notes dominate the nose, in particular canned peaches, kiwi and apples. Sourdough, allspice and a hint of sherry emerge. The spicy arrival is quickly spoiled by the thin mouthfeel, where subdued fruitiness, green tea and distant toffee are losing ground. Drying wood spices, walnuts and plums fade in the bittersweet finish. Not quite what it used to be, but that's the malt aficionado speaking. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 83 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
