Hello friends! I finally achieved one of my dreams and went to Scotland. A beautiful experience where i managed to taste more than 60 whiskies in 10 days. One of them, was the iconic Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix. A very limited release from 'fiddich, with a nice story. It seems that in 2010, one of their warehouses collapsed because of the heavy snow that fell. From the barrels that survived, this whisky was born. Labeled as "The Snow Phoenix", a mythical bird that rises from the snow tragedy. Bottled at 47.6%abv, pale straw color. On the nose, it is complex. Green apples, Chocolate, Some lemon with spices; Vanilla cream, thick. Some sherriness spice. Chocolate fudge. On the palate: Vanilla, Pleasant spices, Some chocolate, Almonds. Vanilla Milkshake that turns into an apple juice, that then turns into pleasant spiciness. Very complex and interesting. Aftertaste is good. Sider, ginger, creamy. Very pleasant. Overall, this is a great whisky. Since i have the bottle back home, unopened, i had a special feeling for it, and that sonehow made me think this one was going to be a 100, but it is not. A solid, well deserved 92 over a 100 is a suitable score for it.

Just beautiful

Still is my favorite scotch to date
