Glenfiddich Rich Oak 14 Year

This item is archived.

Matured 14 years and then finished in New American and European oak before bottling at 40%. This is a step up from the core range of 12 and 15 year olds. 

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very honeyed, toasty, fresh and fruity; there is loads of caramel, white fruits and even a little melon.

Palate: a touch drier than expected to start but it slowly rounds out with more caramel, soft spice, loads of vanilla oak and crisp white fruits.

Finish: sweet, fruity and toasty with a little grassy malt.

Comment: I'm not frequently impressed by Glenfiddich, but this is a good session dram; a bottle could disappear in a night.
