A rather unique expression from the folks over at Glenfiddich. Matured in a large vatting vessel that combines whiskies from ex-bourbon cask, ex-sherry, and ex-virgin oak casks – plus some other ones I expect. Glenfiddich 15 year old is the hidden gem in the whole core range line up from the distillery. Bringing together some classic Glenfiddich light notes, as well as some deeper, richer flavours from numerous other cask types.
