4159-601glenfiddich18yearold

Glenfiddich 18 YO: Truly exceptional single malt, the result not just of eighteen years of care and attention, but of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations. Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak to mature this rich, intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression, but there are many more reasons why this expression is special.

Region: Speyside

Barrels: Oloroso wood and American Oak

Nose: Aromas of grapefruit, baked apples, hints of chocolate and cinnamon.

Palate: On the Palate notes of dried apricot, cinnamon, toffee, ginger and dry Sherry.

Finish: Medium finish with touch of salted toffee.

The Balvenie Doublewood 17 YO is consecutively matured in two different types of cask, a process often referred to as ‘cask finishing’. This technique is at the heart of The Balvenie DoubleWood – it sees the whisky matured first in American oak barrels, which impart soft sweet vanilla notes, before being transferred to European oak sherry casks, where the second cask ageing adds rich spicy flavours and a depth and fullness of flavour

Region: Speyside

Barrel: American Oak, European Oak.

Nose: It is elegant and complex with vanilla, honeye and a hint of green apple aromas.

Taste: On the palate it is sweet with dried fruits, sherbet spice, toasted almonds and cinnamon, layered with a richness of creamy toffee notes and traces of oak and deep vanilla.

Finish: The finish has flavours of vanilla oak, honey and spicy sweetness.
