Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin glass. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: ripe red apples, pears Mouthfeel: neutral (water) Palate: apple peels, citrus vanilla Finish: hint of spice. peppery Rating: 8/10 Price paid: $80 Overall Notes: Smooth while retaining apple notes (vs the mellower Glenfiddich 15) Would I get again? It’s a tossup between this and Glenfiddich 15 (exceptionally mellow/smooth). This has a hit more character (apple and peppery) - but I would still choose Glennfiddich 15 just for the smooth mellow reference.
