Glenfiddich Special Reserva Cask (how creative!) is the slightly more expensive version of ‘Select Cask’, which we found underwhelming (WF 77). Travel retail, maybe, but rather Ryanair than Singapore Airlines. But maybe will this humble NAS baby be more to my liking… Colour: full gold. Nose: ale and cider and overripe apples and leaves and caramel at first nosing, then more interesting notes of old Sauternes that went dry. That’s nice! Glenfiddich Special Reserva Crystal Decanter

Mouth: very ‘travel retail’. Easy, malty, caramelly (it really feels), all on sponge cake, apple crumble and a bit of sour wood. The mouth feel isn’t big, and that’s an understatement. Finish: very short. Leaves a feeling of earl grey tea as the aftertaste. A little honey. Comments: not bad, but it’s more or less in the same category as Diageo’s entry-level Singletons. These diplomatic juices sure won’t offend any travellers.

It’s not often that we try Glenfiddich Special Reserva these days. They still appear regularly and I have the impression that Glenfiddich Special Reserva are gone in a minute, but I also see a lot of them gathering dust in shops. Also at the current prices people don’t share them often.

While the Family Cask range has never been a ‘let’s buy and pop it open’ series, I think it has now become one of these investor series, losing relevance to real whisky enthusiasts. A series that few people write or talk about any more.

Today we have a Family Cask 1973 in our glass, (sherry) butt R1 released in 2014.
