Glenfiddich reviews

The first distillery I toured when I got to Scotland was Glenfiddich - the home of whisky tourism. In 1969 it was the first distillery to open its doors to the public, due to its status as the first real…

Saw this whisky advertised in a magazine with a big piece of honeycomb and some raisins and thought to myself this would be one that I would like. So off the the local LC I went and a bottle was purch…

After the 12 Year Old and 15 Year Old, the next Glenfiddich in the standard range is this 18 Year Old, a mix of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. As always with Glenfiddich, the nose is soft, fresh and…
