Glenfiddich is Gaelic for Valley of the Deer. It is a Highland Single Malt where the distillery, located NW of Aberdeen, has been in business since 1886. The 18 year old version is aged in Spanish Oloroso and American Oak.
Color: bronze, coppery
Nose: estery
Palate: intense, somewhat abrasive initially
Body: silky, light texture
Finish: short and drying
I like Glenfiddich. It is easy to find. Most restaurants will carry it thinking they are showing customers that they have some unique scotches in their bar. But the 18 year old is probably a good example of older isn't necessarily better when it comes to scotch. I have had some 10 and 12 year olds that I prefer to their older brothers.
