One of three Single malts launched in 2013 as the first releases in the Glenfiddich Cask Collection, This was part of Glenfiddich’s first no-age-statement range of single malts and have been released into the global travel retail (duty free) market. Created using Glenfiddich’s Solera Vat technique.
Like other whiskies in the Glenfiddich Cask Collection, this Speyside single malt Whisky is first matured in oak casks before a final maturation period (at least two months) in Solera tuns. The tun is constantly replenished and never let full below half full so ensuring the continuity of the whisky’s flavour.
Glenfiddich Select Cask is said to contain “layers of sweetness, spice and hints of citrus, matured in hand-selected aged Bourbon, European oak and red wine casks to impart a beautifully soft taste”.
Colour: Golden Yellow.
Nose: Sweet and malty with plenty of Vanilla fudge, macadamia nuts and gentle American oak. Hints of milky chocolate and nutmeg spice. Pretty much what you’d expect from Glenfiddich.
Palate: The palate is very much similar to what your nose finds, it’s rich, malty and sweet. Mellow and easy. summery fruits and some light oak, Vanilla with pancake mix, sweet acacia honey and very gentle cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper spice.
Finish: Fairly fresh with eucalyptus. Sweetly mouth-watering. Nutty buttery fudge with lingering cinnamon spice.Fairly short but flavourful.
Thoughts: it’s already setting the bar quite high with quality. It’s light and very drinkable,
Aroma: Clear, pale-mid golden amber.
