Glenfiddich 'Gran Reserva' 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

About the Whisky:
PATIENTLY MELLOWED FOR 21 YEARS IN SCOTLAND, IT STARTS QUIET, RESTRAINED BUT RICH WITH A DEFIANT GLENFIDDICH DISTILLERY DNA. ONLY WHEN IT HAS REACHED PERFECTION DOES IT GET ITS TIME TO SHINE. FINISHED IN CARIBBEAN RESERVA RUM CASKS TO ADD SHARP GINGER, SULTRY FIG AND UPLIFTING LIME NOTES THAT BUILD TO A CRESCENDO OF SWEET TOFFEE AND SPICY EXOTIC WARMTH.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Intense and vanilla sweet. Floral, hints of banana, figs, rich toffee, new leather and oak.

Palate: Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant and drying, peppery, a touch of smoke, oak, lime, ginger and spices.

Finish: Very long, warming, dry and spicy.

Awards/Reviews:

Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2022, 2021

97 Points, Top 100 Spirits Of 2017 - Wine Enthusiast

"Finished in rum casks, the honey and orange zest aromas suggest a cocktail, not a straight pour of Scotch. These flavors are echoed on the silky palate, opening with cocoa and leather and evolving into a luscious, fudge-like finish, with hints of orange peel and cinnamon. Enjoy with a big rock of ice and a piece of orange peel, it needs no other adornment."

93 Points - Whisky Advocate

"Rich, sweet, and fruity with baked apples drizzled in honey, crisp white pear, honeysuckle, dried banana, vanilla fudge, and pecan pie. This works so well with the nascent Glenfiddich spirit; lime zest, vanilla, foamy meringue, honey blossom sweetness, and pepper transitioning to lime shred marmalade, soft oak, and a dry spicy finish. Vibrant, stimulating, sophisticated, and so well balanced that it never risks becoming overly sweet."

93 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2021

"Silky smooth with a sweet peaches and cream character and a touch of buttery biscuit. Polished and well-executed."
