Glenfiddich – 23 Year Old Grand Cru (70cl, 40%)

Glenfiddich Grand Cru is a Speyside single malt whisky aged for 23 years in American and European oak casks, then finished for a further six months in French cuvée casks previously used for base wine intended for sparkling wine. Floral and citrus impressions meet bread and brioche, while vanilla, pear and white grape give a fruity-sweet side, with a light winey note completing the character. It is bottled at 40% and offered in a premium box. The nose shows apple blossom, freshly baked bread and candied lemon. The palate combines vanilla oak, sweet brioche and sandalwood with pear sorbet and white grape. The long, sweet finish leaves hints of stone fruit and gentle oak.
