Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year

Easily the best Scotch I’ve ever had, incredibly smooth, nice finish, thanks to my friend Sprinkles for the pleasure.

Representing speyside: dufftown: fiddich & Dullan rivers Nose: neat: honey, caramel, sherry, vanilla. Pepper. Citrus fruit. Raisin. The sherry honey sweetness is what stands out. After the first sip more orange came out, almost like orange toffee. with water: orange dominated with honey sweetness. Sherry in the background Body: neat: thin and light. with water: still thin and light Palate: neat: oaky sweetness with some faint caramel and a hit of smokiness which is lovely. with water: pepper stood out and caramel cane to the for front. Finish: neat: I was surprised it was medium in length and a little lasting smokiness which I love with scotch. It’s like a sweet smoky caramelly orange. with water: no change with water but more Carmel, orange sweetness with a Burnt oakiness. Delicious. Note: this was given to me at a sample 1.5-2oz from Jared. Initial sip was nice. It was a little distant and smokey which I liked and opened up into the sweetness. This was an interesting dream that just kept evolving sip after sip. The flavors were swirling around and a round which made this very enjoyable.
