Glenfiddich 18-Year-Old Small Batch Reserve is a refined and elegant Speyside single malt, aged in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and bourbon barrels. This whisky is patiently matured in small batches, allowing for greater control over flavour consistency and complexity. The result is a rich, deep whisky with layers of dried fruit, spice, and oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, this is a whisky for those who appreciate sophisticated, well-aged malts with a velvety texture.
Nose: Aromas of dried fruit, dates, and figs, with notes of oak, cinnamon, and toffee.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied, featuring flavours of dark chocolate, sherried fruit, orange zest, and spice, balanced by toasted oak and caramel.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spiced oak, toffee, and a touch of dark fruit sweetness.
The sherried richness and oak complexity of Glenfiddich 18 pairs well with a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that has dark fruit, spice, and woody notes to complement the whisky’s depth.
Padron 1926 Series Maduro – A full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar with rich cocoa, coffee, and earthy spice, enhancing the whisky’s dark fruit and oak.
Cohiba Siglo VI – A medium-to-full-bodied Cuban cigar with cedar, creamy spice, and subtle sweetness, balancing the whisky’s complexity.
Arturo Fuente Opus X – A full-bodied Dominican cigar with pepper, leather, and dark chocolate, complementing the whisky’s deep sherry and oak influence
