The 30 is a dram that I always liked, let’s see how these newer batches handle the situation… Colour: gold. Nose: less complex than the oldies but not less appealing with its rich, silky profile all on very ripe plums, old roses and high-end oak. Also crystallised oranges and a very pleasant smokiness (wood). Very nice, very classic. Mouth: sweet, soft, absolutely not ‘ridiculous’ after the two fit fighters we just had, all on bitter oranges, soft and silky oak and maybe mango cake. Vanilla cake, orange cake. Finish: longer than expected, clean, balanced and rather complex. Comments: pleasantly old style – if not old school. I assume many unlearned execs have bought this at Duty Free Shops, which is a pity. This 30yo should be reserved to us malt lovers.

Official notes:
"Glenfiddich Thirty Year Old is a luxurious single malt Scotch whisky, with a complexity of fragrance and flavour.
Tasting notes: A finely balanced nose, with substantial oakiness matched by fruit and luscious sherry notes. The taste is complex and seductively woody, emphasised by a floral sweetness."
