The Solera cask at the Glenfiddich distillery is a thing of beauty to view. You could drown in it, both figuratively and literally.

One of my favourites. I think it has a lovely rich vanilla/cherry sweetness but I always add a touch of water to get that warm earthiness and oaky finish too. It's just so reliably, consistently welcoming.
@Vtiger446 жыл бұрын
Came back to this video to watch while I tried a bit of this myself, and you are SO right about adding water. And personally I'm enjoying it more than the 12yr.

The 15 solara is way better compared to the 12.(just my opinion)

I had this last night.. it was on sale, cheaper than 12 so I thought. why not :D Nose was great, woody sweet biscuits and a little smoke. On the pallet I freaked out (in a good way) i tasted gummy bears... Haribo gummy bears :D I was so surprised how smth can taste like a little bonfire some pine sap and the gummmy bears. Amazing. Dont want to say it but..smooooth. After little smoke and pine and sweet candy chocolate biscuit finish. Like you said - very good introduction to Scotch. Won't scare them away. Great stuff :) 10/10 would recommend.

It’s smooth and friendly but that spiced, ginger hit you get at the end is super interesting and addictive. The 12 as more earth and grass and is bit more unrefined. I honestly like both but the 15 with its deep cherry oak and spices finish is pretty special. Also it’s pretty competitively prized in UK when on offer.

@reptilianskin7 жыл бұрын
This is my favourite single malt to date. It is rich, smooth, and more complex than the 12 to me. And while I like Islay scotches a lot, I find I need to be in the mood for those stronger in your face experiences. While the 15 year old Solera is just so easy to get comfortable with and enjoy.

Islay fan here,I agree I have to be in the mood for some heavy smoke action. When I'm not in the mood for Islay scotch my go to is the Glenfiddich Solera 15 and the Aberlour 12,both fantastic.
@Glock2201 Жыл бұрын
Have only tried it on the rocks. Was part of a sampler set along with the 12Y and 18Y and I liked this the best out of the three. Just picked up a 750ml bottle of it so looking forward to trying it neat and with a little water. Not sure when it will get opened though. Picked up a bottle of 14Y before so will probably open that first.
@japphan3 жыл бұрын
Tried this whisky just now. It tastes like cream, butter, and walnuts with plenty of oak later on. Very gentle, but also quite complex, although a lot of the notes are similar to each other, also without water. Try it without water too, I find it almost equally good that way. Better than most in the same price range, not exceptional.

Had a dram of this last night. Enjoyed it immensely, but like you said, it lacked drama. Totally agree with you. Yet having said that, I loved its simplicity for a 15 year old, especially for being matured in a Solera cask. I'd still pick the Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Distillery Edition as I found it had an almost custard/cake note. Cheers!

I'm new to the scotch game. I've got a half bottle of this Solera left.. I've found if allow scotch or bourbon to mellow a few months after opening it gets so much better. The Solera is buttery and coats the tongue

I'm actually learning a lot by going back and watching these videos. I even got some samples myself recently to start challenging myself out of my comfort zone of Knob Creek (the whole line of em) and start trying other types of whisk(e)y...whisk(e)ies... er? lol Whiskii? Anyways, Thanks for the knowledge that I will make sure to spread in kind, paying it foward. Oh, and thanks for the like. Nice to see someone from the crew still goes back to old videos and checks on comments, even liking them :) .

I was pretty disappointed in this. It's aggressive for its ABV. All of the flavor - honey, butterscotch, cola, muted fruit - failed to mature past 'hints' as it sat on my tongue. The dryness continues after swallow and left me feeling empty, not unlike my wallet after shelling out too much for it.

I have seen your videos where you say Glenfiddich 12 is smoky and how Bruichladdich is smoky, and I have to say it completely trashes any credibility you could ever have. Neither of those whiskies have any smoke added to them and yet you are supposed to teach classes on the subject and have the audacity to charge money for it? Shameful.
