Glenfiddich 15YO 1L

The 'Distillery Edition' breaks the mould. Maturation is standard in American and European oak. The departure here is zero chill filtration and an ABV close enough to call cask strength. Familiar characteristics remain, only they're amplified, so if you’re used to 'Fiddich's sedate, easy-drinking style, this may bruise your tongue a little. But by the third or fourth taste, you’ll be begging for more. Released in 2012 to capitalise on the burgeoning duty free market, glowing reviews, 51%, and a very generous, one litre format make for seriously good single malt buying. If you have a Glenfiddich stigma, now is a good reason to drop it and enjoy what is just really, really good Scotch.
