A very limited-edition official bottling of Glenfiddich 40yo, originally released in 2002.

It’s the newish 40, the one that just scooped the Best Speyside Whisky award at the World Whisky Awards 2012. I was a judge again this year and I think I liked it a lot (not too sure, it was all blind!) Price is only 2,000 Euros, so you can get it for just a little more than a song ;-). Colour: deep amber. Nose: yes this is complex and very elegant, we’re well in the same family as the best old cognacs here – it’s probably the same people who buy/drink both anyway. Old polished wood, dried figs, roasted chestnuts, cough lozenges, dates, then more herbal notes, chartreuse, vetiver, parsley… gets a tad more winey then, with touches of old Port and a very nice rancio. I told you, cognac… Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Bot.2002

Mouth: more polished wood, tobacco, cough lozenges and dates. Really big bodied in fact, with the oak really working as a seasoning agent and never becoming drying. Fruitcake and then more and more liquorice. Frankly, it’s great whisky despite the heavy price tag ;-). Finish: impressively long, rather dry, more on chocolate, ganache and more wine and spices. Old amontillado. More liquorice in the aftertaste. Comments: yes it’s very great whisky and I find it surprisingly big and rich for Glenfiddich. It’s just a notch too expensive.
