Glenfiddich Scotch Single Malt 12 Year Our Signature Malt 2009 skus_30279622 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 97 pointsNose: Light grass with sweet fruit notes pushing through. No note of earthiness (peat, smoke, etc.) which is a little surprising. Water tends to fade the nose without continued agitation. Palate: Apples, grass (like sitting in a meadow), and sweet cream (pre whipped sweetened heavy cream). Water mutes the more delicate notes. Finish: Short and fleeting. Not much but it leaves you with notes of apple skin.
