I wanted to take a moment to give this one a quick review. I’ve had this bottle for well over a year now and I was shuffling through unopened bottles a few weeks ago, looking for something that might mix well with Coca Cola. I had finished off the last of my cheap, bourbon mixers and wasn’t about to open an Elijah Craig 18 to make a B&C. Needless to say, this one played well with ice and cola. I ended up trying this neat on several occasions but forgot to write any notes down. I seem to recall the nose being very sweet: vanilla and sherry sweetness, with some slight port wine influence. The palate seemed to be dominated by the oak casks used while still being somewhat sweet and hot. The finish was oaky and medium in length, with some sweetness hanging around for quite awhile afterwards. It played well with the cola and worked well on its own. I don’t think I’d replace it, but I’d recommend it over the younger, standard Glenfiddich stuff I’ve had in the past. 3.5 stars. Cheers.
