Andrew’s Tasting Note

Nose: creamy and tropical, treacle sauce and maple butter; melons, mango and papaya; chocolate shavings and cinnamon dusted on top of a foamy cappuccino. 

Palate: still creamy, tropical and fruity with maple syrup and more subtle treacle notes; more mango, papaya and flambéed banana; more dark chocolate shavings and cinnamon, soft leather and some salted caramel. Finish: long, coating and fruity. 

Comment: it is nice to revisit the old standbys and remind yourself how pleasant they can be.”

Lending its name to the largest selling single malt in the world, Glenfiddich is said to have paved the way after WWII by bucking the trend and not supplying to blenders owned by larger conglomerates. Vision and persistence paid off, and as luck would have it, its style is very easily drinkable and appeals to a wide range. Traditionally light, smooth, with a hint of fruitiness.
