Really like the classic 12 and the 14. Love the 19 year and this 18 year is great too. I do love the 19 more because of the exclusive bourbon casking. The 18 is a sherry bomb to end all sherry bombs. Normal typical glenfiddich notes then sherry turned up to 11. Nose is all light fruit apple and pear, sherry dark stewed fruit of plums and golden raisins. A malt, honey and candy syrup sweetness made a bit sweeter by the sherry presence. No alcohol or oak on the nose. Taste is that typical buttery, butterscotch, apple and pear, honey and sweet Glenfiddich with the strong addition of the plum and raisin notes from the sherry, some barrel bite and spice from the age and late palate into the finish a touch of bitterness and oak from the age. Finish is medium as the oak, bitter tannin, fruit and sweetness all hang out with the sweetness dropping off first. Really a nice treat wouldn't drink this all the time but it's a really good dessert/ after dinner whisky. Price limits this as a daily drinker as well even though it and Glenfarclas varieties are well priced considering age and quality of juice inside.
