Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a speyside masterpiece of time and craft.
Matured for eighteen years in a careful blend of first-fill Spanish Oloroso sherry butts and American oak bourbon casks, Glenfiddich 18 Year Old exemplifies the depth and finesse that Speyside whisky can achieve. Each small batch (just around 150 casks) is aged and then individually married in oak tuns, building a signature profile that balances rich fruit, oak structure, and elegant continuity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Dark gold with warm amber highlights, signaling the long maturation and premium oak influence.
Nose:
A remarkably rich aroma opens with baked apple, oxidation of ripe orchard fruit and robust oak. Layers of vanilla, marzipan, and dried fruits such as raisins and dates merge with subtle nuttiness and spice.
Palate:
Full-bodied yet refined, the palate reveals luxurious dried fruit, candied peel, and soft treacle sweetness. Beneath, undertones of toasted oak, ginger spice, and dark chocolate provide complexity, balanced with gentle vanilla.
Finish:
Long, warm and distinguished. The finish gradually fades on toasted almond, trace tobacco leaf, gentle spice and lingering dark fruit echoes.
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old is an elegant celebration of maturation, precision and tradition. A superb whisky for quiet reflection, refined company, or as a highlight in any distinguished spirits collection.
