Tasting Notes
Glenfiddich's 40 Year Old Rare Collection (Release Number 17) is a true gem that showcases the distillery's mastery in crafting exceptional whiskies. This stunning single malt captivates the senses with its rich aroma, where layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and ripe black cherries intertwine harmoniously, occasionally accompanied by gentle hints of wood smoke, polished leather, and cloves. On the palate, it unveils a silky smooth and luxuriously mouth-coating texture, initially bursting with intense flavors of dried fruits, Christmas cake, dates, raisins, and stewed apples. As it lingers, slightly dryish oak notes emerge, mingling with bitter chocolate and the faintest whisper of peat. The finish is incredibly long-lasting and complex, leaving an unforgettable impression that truly defines this exceptional whisky as a memorable experience.
