Glenfiddich 15 is one of the cheaper 15 year scotches currently available, but don’t let the affordability factor turn you away from buying it. It has a sweet nose that offers a nice blend of summer fruits. The palate follows the nose but adds dark fruits and some mild spices. The finish is quite short for a 15 year scotch, which is probably my only criticism, but the sweet fruits and mixed spices and honey are just so wonderfully balanced that I forgive the lack of finish. I’m not normally a huge fan of adding water to low ABV whiskies (in this case 40%), but a few drops really does help the fruit notes with hints of nectarines and peaches coming through. Some reviewers have mentioned a hint of smoke but I can’t find any. I think I paid $60 for this whisky last year. It’s probably gone up a bit recently, but if you can get this for less than $75 buy it.
