Glenfiddich 15 Year is made with a solera system, an idea borrowed from sherry bodegas. Whisky aged in sherry, bourbon and new oak casks goes into a large oak vat that has never been emptied since 1998, and it is bottled at 40%.
Because the vat is always kept at least half full, each batch carries some of the last. The result is rich and full, with honey and baked apple on the nose, then fruit, warm spice and a touch of smoke, a salty note mid-palate and a long butterscotch finish.
For a rich, layered Speyside malt for a fair price, Glenfiddich 15 is our pick. For the classic, choose Glenfiddich 12; for an older Glenfiddich, see Glenfiddich 18.
Sip it neat or with a splash of water.
We carry it in the 750ml size, and the 1L when in stock. More bottles are under single malt Scotch, and the rest of our Scotch is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
