Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

Glenfiddich Amontillado Sherry Cask is an elegant and characterful single malt whisky from Speyside, building on the distillery’s classic 12-year-old expression with an added layer of depth and complexity. This edition is first matured in American and European oak casks, then finished in rare Amontillado sherry casks, adding a distinct vinous and nutty dimension to the fresh fruit profile.

The whisky opens with aromas of dried fruits, raisins, and plums, where the sherry influence is immediately noticeable. Behind that lie notes of toffee, spiced oak, and a gentle vinous warmth reminiscent of mulled wine and rancio. The palate is full-bodied and rounded with poached pears, fig marmalade, and a subtle spiced sweetness. The elevated alcohol strength of 43 percent adds extra structure and intensity without compromising Glenfiddich’s smooth style.

The finish is medium-long with dry, nutty tones, spiced apple, and a pleasant warmth that invites another sip. The Amontillado finish adds maturity and finesse, making this edition an ideal choice for both curious newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking something out of the ordinary.
