Part of a 2-3 hour tasting at the Glenfiddich Distillery. Prince Edward was on site (along with entourage and many members of the press) and management still made sure we were set up and well taken care of, stopping by to talk drams every 15 minutes. Outstanding service. It goes without saying but this 30-year was top of the heap. Perfectly well rounded, light and rich with subtleties in every sip. Cherries, apple spice and oranges, followed by vanilla, caramel, and chocolate notes throughout. A hint of coffee beans? Tobacco leaves. Toffee. Oak. Superbly complex and incredibly smooth. An absolute champ.🏆 (LM)
