Aromas of apple, toffee, dried cherry, baking spices, bran bread crust, candied lemon, and cake mix. The texture in the mouth is heavy and creamy smooth with flavors of honeyed apple, vanilla, citrus, cocoa, chocolate, clove, and cinnamon bark, then soothing oak and spiced orchard fruits on the finish. The thick creamy mouthfeel and array of flavors elevate this above other well-aged Glenfiddichs.
