Whiskies from 'Glenfiddich Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Glenfiddich Distillery.

• Glenfiddich 12 Years Old, Special Reserve

Easy-going, fresh and fruity, but the palate does not reflect the liveliness of the nose.

• Glenfiddich 12 Years Old, Special Reserve

Glenfiddich has much more roundness of flavour since it switched from 'no age statement' to 12 years.

• Glenfiddich 12 Years Old, Toasted Oak

A bit of a let down after such a great nose. A very pretty whisky but higher alcohol might have given it better impact in the mouth.

• Glenfiddich 15 Years Old, Solera Reserve

Light but very smooth. Scores points for its suave smoothness and sweetness.

• Glenfiddich 15 Years Old, Solera Reserve

Elegant. Well-balanced to the point of suavity.

• Glenfiddich 18 Years Old, Ancient Reserve

Scores points for sophistication and sherry character.

• Glenfiddich 1965 Vintage Reserve

A playful whisky for one of such maturity. Starting very sweetly, but reluctant to reveal its secrets. Give it time to reveal its complexity.

• Glenfiddich 1967, Vintage Reserve

On the light side among older Glenfiddichs, but delicate and appetising.

• Glenfiddich 1973 Vintage

Beautifully calm and seamless after the rugged attack of the Laphroaig.

• Glenfiddich 1973 Vintage Reserve

Luxurious and sweet, but background is gently dry. Deftly balanced and sophisticated, as ever.

• Glenfiddich 1991 Vintage Reserve

Gentle. Accessible. Enjoyable.

• Glenfiddich 21 Years Old, Gran Reserva

Delivers more than expected. Seems a bit bland at start but it displays an attractive array of aromas and flavours on time. The rum influence is under control.

• Glenfiddich 21 Years Old, Millennium Reserve

Lighter and more delicate than the 21 Years Old that appeared in a Wedgwood decanter in years past.

• Glenfiddich 30 Years Old

Luxurious, but in a restrained, understated way.

• Glenfiddich 30 Years Old

Salient house characteristics, especially the chocolate, at their boldest and most sustained.

• Glenfiddich 40 Years Old, Rare

This is an urbane whisky that will not easily reveal itself. Take your time with it. Enjoy its company.

• Glenfiddich 40 Years Old, Rare Collection

Extraordinary flavour development. An astonishingly complex whisky.

• Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve, 12 Years Old

A more sprightly Glenfiddich than the standard 12. Thirst-quenching. Peatiness and the smoked finish aren't as 'distinct' as the label suggests.

• Glenfiddich Havana Reserve, 21 Years Old

The less pronounced rum character of the two Caribbean accented whiskies in this tasting. When you cook, do you want the herbs and spices to announce themselves individually, or to be part of the blend of flavours? David Stewart seems usually to opt for the latter, and does so with great deftness and sophistication.

• Glenfiddich Malt Whisky Liqueur

A mid-evening treat when the open fire is glowing and the family gathered.

• Glenfiddich Special Reserve

Lean, smooth and appetising.
