    "Glenfidditch 15 Solera"

    Does anyone have tasting notes on the Solera?

    I picked up a bottle of Glenfiddich 12 year for an upcoming birthday celebration with a couple of friends who happen to have very close birthdays. So in short, were gonna sit down, and enjoy ourselves a bit.

    I typically drink whisky after eating something, or in the evening...typically with a pipeful of toasted Cavendish.

    Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Year Old

    Matured in three casks: sherry, bourbon and new oak

    Silver medal winner at the International Wine & Spirit Competition and International Spirits Challenge 2005.

    The Glenfiddich Solera system is unique amongst Scotch whisky distillers. Fifteen-year-old Glenfiddich from three types of casks (traditional American bourbon, Portuguese sherry and new oak) is married in a large Solera vat, made of Oregon pine. The vat is always kept at least half full, ensuring a consistent quality of whisky is maintained whenever it is topped up. Then this beautifully balanced single malt is left to settle in a small Solera tun before bottling. The result? A full and fruity nose, with delicate honey and vanilla notes. The taste is elegantly smooth, with a deep flavour that reveals fruit, gentle spice and a touch of oak. The finish is long and satisfying.
    ai agree wi' "delicate honey and vanilla notes..., gentle spice and a touch of oak." is is a nice yin.
