Glenfiddich 15 Years
A smooth and fruity single malt Scotch whisky, matured in three different types of oak casks for a rich and complex character
Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that exemplifies the Speyside region's signature elegance. This expression undergoes a unique maturation process, spending time in sherry, bourbon, and new oak casks before being married in a Solera vat. This innovative technique, inspired by Spanish sherry production, creates a whisky of exceptional consistency and depth. The result is a beautifully balanced dram with layers of warm spice, rich fruit, and a lingering honeyed sweetness. Its smooth and mellow character makes it an approachable yet rewarding whisky for both connoisseurs and those new to single malts.
