- Nose
- Burnt-heather smokiness. Sappy oak.
- Palate
- Very luxurious. Beeswax and honey. Bitter black chocolate. Treacle toffee. Anise.
- Finish
- Spicy. satisfying. Long.
- Comment
- This is an urbane whisky that will not easily reveal itself. Take your time with it. Enjoy its company.

- Palate

- Finish
- Long, continually fruity yet still smoky.
- Comment
- Anyone who reckons Glenfiddich is not a top-rate distillery should sample this.
