Glenfiddich Vintage Reserve 1974
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 46.8%
Score: 94 Points
This single malt was selected by Glenfiddich’s global team of brand ambassadors in 2011, with only 1,000 bottles released worldwide. The nose is aromatic with notes of mango, papaya, tangerine, orange peel, and hints of vanilla and oak. The taste is fruity and syrupy-thick with orange peel, mango, subtle cardamom and cinnamon spices, and just a hint of smokiness. The finish is lingering and tantalizing with subtle complexity and a nice oakiness. Excellent! (May, 2015)
