Distiller: Glenfiddich
Bottle: 18 Year (Our Small Batch Eighteen)
Classification: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Region: Speyside
Age: 18 Years
Barrels: Oloroso and Bourbon
Estimated Price: $116 USD
Tasting Procedure: Whisky was poured into a cold-water rinsed glencairn, and set out for about 20 minutes.
Nose: White grapes, almost like a cognac, artificial strawberry, kiwi. A slight, harsh salinity and bitter grapefruits and dark fruits. Mild ethanol. Wood.
Palate: Very smooth. Silky mouthfeel but not particularly thick. Quite a bit of wood/buttewalnut backing the drink, almost coating the palate like a pinot noir. The fruit is much less bright on the palate, trending towards darker fruits like blueberries. Still getting a tinge of the greener side of white grapes, spiced white tea as well. There are definitely more spices here, cinnamon being the most apparent to me. After quite a few sips I'm getting a faint taste of lemon oil and ginger.
Finish: The finish is actually quite long and reveals more of the cinnamon/ginger notes. There is a lingering burn of spice along with salinity for quite a while, bitter wood holds on as well. Much of the fruit seems to have gone, but hints of apricot stick around within the spices.
Score: 3
Thoughts: Nothing about this scotch is bad. It is very easy to drink, and it showcases its age well. However, even though I enjoy it, it just feels a bit boring. I would happily drink this stuff, but I just want MORE. More complexity, more ABV, more peat, basically anything. One or all of those things would elevate this bottle for me, but as it is now, it just feels a bit lacking, especially for the hefty price tag. That being said, if you bust this bottle out, your scotch drinking friends and your scotch-noob friends will all be able to appreciate that it is a fine whisky.
Score Guide:
0 - Disgusting and undrinkable. I would rather drink everclear than this.
1- Not good. This is a bottle that I would rather just simply avoid. A bottle with this score would be one that has off flavors, or is so bland that it is not worth ever choosing at any price point.
2- Average. This is an acceptable bottle that is not bad but has nothing distinguishing about it. I'd drink it if it was free or cheap, but I wouldn't order it at regular prices probably.
3- Good. This is a bottle that I enjoy, and would purchase from time to time. If it was on a sale, I'd consider it a good deal and would be likely to grab it. It would have good qualities about it, but may be lacking in less detrimental aspects such as complexity.
4- Great. This is a bottle that I would be highly likely to purchase, and would always restock if it was on sale. This needs to be a bottle that stands out a bit. This could definitely be a daily drinker.
5- Exceptional. This is a bottle that must be on my shelf. This is something that I would drink all the time if I could, and I would highly recommend to others.
5+- Phenomenal. This category is fairly subjective, hence when I didn't opt for a "6". This is a 5 bottle that stands out, one that I would drink 9/10 times when presented with other 5's. Anything that receives a 5+ is one of my personal favorites, and something that I save for rare occasion (unless its cheap and then I drink a lot of it).
