Glenfiddich 50 Year Old Tasting Notes


Producer's Tasting Notes:

Glenfiddich 50 year old is imbued with a unique preciousness that only time can bring, and remains remarkably light and elegant on the palate.

Nose: Beautifully harmonious with an uplifting, vibrant and complex aroma.

Taste: Initially sweet with a zesty orange marmalade and vanilla toffee, which then cascades through a wonderful series of layers: aromatic herbs, floral and soft fruits, silky oak tannin and hints of gentle smoke.

Finish: The finish is exceptionally long with a touch of dry oak and the merest trace of peat.
