Glenfiddich - Winter Storm - Batch #2 Poured and let sit for 1/2 hour; added a few drops of water. Nose: There is a lot of sweet and confectionary at play here. This is what I managed to isolate. Grape, light powdered sugar, spice cookie made of wood, strawberry ice cream Taste: Great medium viscosity; but also suprisingly dry; sweet is not overwhelming as the nose might lead one guess. Getting some classic scotch ceral notes, but enhanced by the ice wine and European oak. It literally tastes like an iced red grape was added to this. Some spice elements, perhaps from the European oak? Finish: Extreme drying sensation. Not sure I've had a whiskey that finished this dry. It makes you want to drink more! A very subtle grape sweet is left on the pallet. Final Thoughts: I have looked forward to this bottle for years. I finally found one and it cost 425$. Most expensive bottle I have ever purchased. I have to say, this is interesting, but not worth that price. Even at its normal retail of 250$, I dont think this quite worth that. The distiller states they filled multiple barrels with different age glenfiddich and most came out way too sweet. Only the 21 year developed a profile they found interesting and worthwhile. I think I was honestly ready for a fruity explosion on the pallet, and it that was not really to be found. It is definitely a unique scotch experience, especially the dry aspect, but one you are better off sampling at bar rather than a full bottle. I may come back and update this review if the bottle develops further complexity as it opens up.
