Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Single Malt Scotch. Image courtesy William Grant & Sons.This is one of the few Glenfiddich expressions to use ex-Bourbon casks exclusively, and the nose is rich and smooth with notes of dried apples, peaches, and apricots, along with orange oils, a touch of oak, honey, and vanilla. The taste is fruity and peppery with good touches of red apples, peaches, honey,vanilla, white pepper, and a mild cinnamon spice. The finish is medium-length and fruity. (January, 2015)
