Glenfiddich Winter Storm 21 Year

Druif, Sherry, zoete wijn, vanille, snoepjes, beetje wrang, peper, blijft lang doorgaan,

The more I drink whiskey the more I firmly believe for a newly opened bottle or sample you really need to let it sit for a while and see the difference a few drops of water makes. Doesn't always make a difference but often you find it really opens a dram and brings it up a few notches. This is one such experience, the slightly off wooden notes faded and the lovely fruity flavours, lychee etc came to the fore. Lovely drop but wouldn't pay the asking price for a full bottle that's for sure! Batch 1 I had... judging on past GF results subsequent batches will be a step down in quality.

Tastes like the 18 with a hint of extra sweetness and fruit from the ice wine cask. It’s nice to have but the 18 is definitely a better value. 94

tasted twice from sample from friend. first nose was sweet, but kind of soapy sweet. not very pleasant. palate equaled the nose. tried it again a few days later (i rinsed out my glass to make sure it was clean). the nose has brightened & cleaned up. palate has plenty of ice wine sweetness. it’s the sweetest scotch i’ve ever had. overall it fits my sweet tooth profile, but i'm glad i didn't spend $300 on it.
