Firstly, Bottled in 1991 in a limited edition of just 500 bottles, this whisky came from a batch of nine casks laid down in the 1930s (one cask was laid down for each of William Grant’s nine children, who had helped to build Glenfiddich distillery in the 1880s). The whisky itself is one of the most amazing 50 year old whiskies ever to be released from any distillery and we actually like it more than the current version. It has an elegant, complex palate of subtle dried fruit flavours all beautifully balanced with wood spice, absolutely stunning !!
Further, To celebrate Glenfiddich’s centenary while being 25 years late, that’s not what I’d call being in sync – but then again, the Internet didn’t exist back then, let alone these sneaky/pesky whisky blogs. Colour: straw. Nose: this is a whisky unlike any other, I think I’ve seldom nosed something that was so delicately herbal (despite the big notes of Williams pears in the background). In fact, it’s a combination of verbena, wormwood, coriander, aniseed and maybe plain grass with pears and muesli. Glenfiddich 50 Year Old Bot.1991 1st Edition
In conclusion, There’s also a lot of hay (on a hot summer day, no need to say). This could be great whisky… Mouth: even more unusual. Starts very cardboardy, ultra-dry, maybe even a tad flat, but contrarily to the 19yo, it takes off a bit after a few seconds. Mind you, it never becomes a winner but once again, some unexpected notes of herbs do emerge. In fact, it’s like an old-style herbal liqueur. I believe that comes from bottle ageing – partly. Too bad it’s soon to become flat and dull again. Finish: very short. Woosh. Comments: that happens sometimes with these old bottles. You can ‘intellectualise’ the nose ad libitum but the palate will always tell you the naked truth
