The nose is very inviting with toasted marshmallow, toffee, vanilla, graham cracker, and candy apples.
The palate is smooth and sweet at first with cream and toffee, but develops into a spicy oak.
The spicy oak continues into a medium length clean finish.
This malt is much different than its 12 and 15 year cousins, and surprisingly I think I prefer it to either of them.

I believe this is Glenfiddich' s "hello,try this for size" gesture to the bourbon market and is exclusively sold in the US - I've yet to see it sold in Europe. The finishing is done in deep-charred, new American oak barrels, ergo the bourbon undertones in smell and flavour and distinct difference to 12 and 15; apparently the blue coloured label is a nod to the Kentucky state flag. PS: for the people on this side of the pond, graham crackers = digestive biscuits (more or less)
Agreed, this is my favorite Glenfiddich that I've tried to date
