Product details
Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Finish is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that enhances the brand's signature Speyside character with a nuanced sherry influence. Matured for 12 years in a combination of American and European oak casks, this expression is then finished in rare Amontillado sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. Amontillado casks are among the rarest, comprising less than 5% of Glenfiddich's imported sherry casks, and impart subtle notes of hazelnut and caramel, enriching the whisky's complexity.
The whisky presents a rich amber hue and a nose characterized by fresh pear, delicate dried fruits, and subtle spice. On the palate, it offers beautifully sweet, fruity notes enveloped by rich oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of baked apple, culminating in a smooth, mellow finish with lingering spiciness. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or with club soda to expand the flavor, this refined profile makes it an excellent companion to dishes like scampi sashimi, where the whisky's pear and oak notes complement the delicate seafood flavors.
