Glenfiddich Rare Collection 17

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 54.4%

Score: 93 Points

Brian Kinsman selected a series of casks for this exclusive bottling for France’s La Maison du Whisky, with just 250 bottles available. The nose has fresh berries, coriander/cilantro, honey, fresh walnuts, hints of coconut, and a toucb of maltiness. The taste is crisp with a good blend of citrus fruits, raisins, black pepper, and nutmeg. The finish is long and consistent with a nice malty touch, honey, and a touch of pipe tobacco.
