[ralfy legend]

Noticed glenfiddich has this out in Sainsburys, no age but 43%, so what you reckon?

Think I will nip over tonight and get a couple of those.

I see that it is listing in Waitrose also, I would guess it will be rolling out everywhere soon.in my opinion the Glenfiddich Experimental Series expressions have all been good to date, so I would be happy to give this new Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment a try.

This is how they describe it:

I am sure it will be worth a go, sounds like a good summer dram if there is such a thing, as Whisky Chaser says we will probably see it on offer which seems to be the way they sell whisky in a supermarket now.

So what do we think of the price £42

Interesting, I will give it a try some time

Good cider brandy is hard to come across (and expensive) given that most decent stuff is aged 15 years+ I have some bottles, interestingly, some are aged in various Sherry casks and oak. The Pomona is aged in small oak barrels, much smaller than whisky barrels so it will be interesting to see how much whisky was finished in them and for how long (and how many times the barrels were reused). I can see how they would match a speyside profile, in fact I’ve talked myself into buying a bottle!

Right I was given a miniature of this today so just trying it now, thanks to hayfever my nose is blocked so with the taste is apples,, normal glenfiddich note, toffee, and defo pepper , feels a touch of a sticky mouthfeel, not a bad mouthfeel I will say , I’m sure I’m getting a wiff of smoke but don’t quote me on that , more notes will be in this but heyfever not helping but am I liking it ? If I personally wanted a bottle of this I’d be looking at the price at £35 than the £42 but hey I’m liking it, be good to hear some more reviews so we can all see how good it is 👍 right I’m away to finish the last swallow.

Me again last sip , fruity with a bit of time very fruity, bordering on tropical, like it if your into speyside,, just noticed Sainsburys dropped it by £10

[Latic]

Taste-wise this seems in the ball park of Deveron 12yo? Know a friend who loves this, so would this be a good buy for him? TIA.

I think at £32 it sits about right for me , I’m thinking of getting a bottle at this price , I wish the youtubers would get some more reviews going so we can see what it’s all about , looking back to last night I’m at the point of saying I enjoyed the miniature I had .

[unblended]

sounds cheap when you see they are £ 65.00 and £ 80.00 at this moment in time at scotch whisky auctions

[unblended]

they ended up at 110.00 plus fees pluspostage say 150.00 ish

[ralfy legend]

Worth planting one away
