Why it’s different

Glenfiddich 15 Y.O. is now available in its new special pack.

The production of Glenfiddich 15 follows a special process. The mash obtained by adding water to malted barley is kept moving for about six hours by rotating rakes; the "wort," or wort of water and malted barley, is then transferred to Washbacks, the large Douglas wood fermentation vats inside which fermentation by selected yeasts takes place. After distillation, Glenfiddich 15 ages for at least 15 years in new American oak, ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels. Each barrel is then emptied inside the "Solera Vat," a large wooden vat decicated at blending and never emptied from 1998 to the present.

How do I drink it?

Glenfiddich 15 is an easy whisky to approach but does not lack complexity. The nose releases notes of toffee and vanilla, and the palate is very smooth with characteristic sherry notes as well as marzipan, ginger and cinnamon. It closes with a rich, smooth finish. It is best consumed neat, over ice or as a highball accompanied by Fever-Tree Soda Water. Also great with the classic Scotch Sour. Never obvious pairing with a slice of apple pie accompanied by a great apple sorbet or vanilla ice cream.
