Glenfiddich 31 year old Vintage Reserve Single Malt scotch Whisky Speyside region Dufftown distict Numbered bottle from cask no 4414 laid down in 1977 Presented in a quality wood case
DAVID STEWART'S TASTING NOTES COLOUR - Dark amber NOSE - A rich and complex aroma with deep, sherry notes (raisins, dates, sultanas) and a beautiful oaky sweetness. Addition of a little water releases a vibrant spicy character with hints of vanilla, butterscotch and polished leather. TASTE - A wonderful balance of rich oak notes and sweet, fruity spice. Initially very intense with lots of oak tannin and mouth-coating wood flavour. After a few minutes a subtle vanilla sweetness and gentle fruity character develops (baked apple, rhubarb, ripe pears). The layers of flavour continue to unfold over a very long period meandering from oak to sweet to fruity to spicy and back again. FINISH - Very long and lingering with a warm, sweet afterglow.
