Chegou o lançamento anual do vintage da destilaria de Glenfiddich. 
Como já tinhamos anunciado em Junho, para a elaboração deste single malt, foi seleccionado, após demorada escolha, o casco nº4414.
Este Glenfiddich foi destilado em 1977, e amadurecido, no referido casco 4414 (ex-oloroso sherry), durante 31 anos, sendo engarrafado com 54,1%.
Segundo David Stewart (Glenfiddich Malt Master), as Notas de Prova são:
Colour - Dark amber
Nose - A rich and complex aroma with deep, sherry notes (raisins, dates, sultanas) and a beautiful oaky sweetness. Addition of a little water releases a vibrant spicy character with hints of vanilla, butterscotch and polished leather.
Taste - A wonderful balance of rich oak notes and sweet, fruity spice. Initially very intense with lots of oak tannin and mouth-coating wood flavour. After a few minutes a subtle vanilla sweetness and gentle fruity character develops (baked apple, rhubarb, ripe pears). The layers of flavour continue to unfold over a very long period meandering from oak to sweet to fruity to spicy and back again.
Finish - Very long and lingering with a warm, sweet afterglow.I think it is one of those - if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it - type of things.
O Glenfiddich 1977 Vintage Reserve é limitado a 482 garrafas.
