This Glenfiddich 30 Year Old is one of the oldest Glenfiddich I have ever tasted, surpassed only by the Vintage 1973 for La Maison du Whisky, which was very good.

The nose is soft as silk, full and round, jammy and honeysweet. Some nutmeg and a hint of ginger. Nice touch of oak, but not at all oaky. A lot of sherry influence. Seductive.

It is very sweet and fruity, with a slight sourish touch of citrus, but also rich in raisins and figs, pears and honey. Well spiced, wonderful balance, slight smokiness. Great mouthfeel.

The finish is warming on honey and dried fruits.

This is a grand whisky and, in my humble opinion, comes very close to the Vintage 1973. My only complaint, as it were, is that it would do better at higher strength. Originally for sale for around 150 EUR, but today, you may add at least 100 EUR to that. Not cheap, but then this sumptuous whisky is three decades old.
