Founded in 1887, with machinery bought from the Cardhu Distillery, William Grant created Glenfiddich. Still in the hands of the Grant family, Glenfiddich is the biggest selling malt Whisky worldwide and remains Scottish owned and independent. William Grant pioneered their whiskies as 'single malts' at a time when malts were produced to supply the blended Whisky producers. It's a vision that has paid off, thanks for creating the category Mr. Grant!
This richly layered 15 year old Glenfiddich is matured in three types of oak cask: sherry, bourbon and new oak, before being married in a unique, handcrafted Oregon pine Solera vat. Year on year, this Solera vat is never emptied but is always kept at least half full creating a deliciously harmonious and intense Whisky which gets more complex and intriguing every year.
What does Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Whisky taste like?
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Whisky and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
This is the first whisky I've actually enjoyed (I'm new to this world!). This was nice and smooth with a good heat afterwards.
Mary-Ann,
Very smooth. Needs nothing but a single ice cube.
Joe,
Very good. Received it as a gift
guest,
Sweet on the nose.. very smooth and a go to at that price range.
guest,
Got a lot of sherry and honey on the nose. Palate starts with sweet honey and quickly shifts to more fruity and buttery caramel notes. Good balanced scotch
Ameya,
Drinks beautifully- haven't had this in years, but it's got subtle notes of honey and bright, tropical fruit notes (lots of pineapple). Easily one of my favorite Scotch single malts.
William,
Very reasonably priced for its quality. Nice way to finish an evening, though best for more casual drinkers.
Oskari,
One of the smoothest whiskies I own, if not the smoothest. Can recommend.
Simon,
Possibly the best bang-for-buck whiskey out there. Smooth, mellow, fruity and warm. Stunning. One for the permanent collection.
David,
Much better then 12, better than 18. Great value and hard t0 find!
Matt,
A good Whisky
Noticeably smoother than the 12 year old and more body. Apples and sweetness remain but with more oak and caramel. Similar to the dalwinie 15 yr but less floral.
Mike,
Very smooth and enjoyable to drink will definitely be looking to buy the 18 year next or maybe just another 15 yr. It's the best bottle of scotch I ever had the pleasure of sipping
Alan,
Complex and smooth
Louis,
Great Scotch. First time trying a scotch. Odor of berries, almost like a wine. Taste of cherry, little smoke and subtle heat but not over powering.
Andy,
I really like this. I have only had one dram but I'm looking forward to finishing the bottle. It was rich and complex, dark fruits and malty, a little sweet, and Oh so smooth.
Daniel,
very similar to classic glenfiddich but with more depth of flavor, a stronger less elegant taste, and the addition of some caramel and bourbon notes that drown out the fruitiness. Overall i actually preferred the original 12 year
Ben,
Soft on the pallet with a warm kick to the edge of the taste. Hints of woodyness in the aftertaste.
Rohan,
Smooth, with hints of sweetness, will happily buy again
guest,
Best Scotch made!!
Mark,
Closer to Glenmorangie but sweeter. Aniseed, liquorish. Grass on the finish
Kevin,
This one surprised me. It was absolutely worth the price and I wouldn’t hesitate picking up a bottle. Well rounded, good finish.
Brandon,
It's decent
Brent,
Great Scotch, smooth with the right amount of sweet and complexity
guest,
Smooth yet delicious and accessible.
Ed,
Outstanding scotch. Slight smokiness but I love the sherry/port cask finish
Michael,
As good as it gets at 15yrs. Bold start smooth finish. Carmel party.
Ilya,
Smooth! Very good.
guest,
Beautiful expression of the solera system using different casks. Fruit bomb with ripe berries, cherry, stone fruit, and citrus. Baking spices on the nose and faint smokiness. Excellent!
Kowana,
Sweet and incredibly smooth!
Chris,
It's a good, popular Spey with lots of marketing behind it. Sweet, smooth, fruity.
Will,
Smooth and a hint of sweet, absolutely a favorite
Dan,
Spicy and oaky, full finish.
Travis,
Not over powering. Nice smokey tones. Easy drinking scotch.
guest,
Strong oak flavour. Very savoury.
Hugh,
Excellent Scotch, clean flavor and easy to drink.
Ryan,
Awesome "daily drinker" and at a better value than the 18. Much better than the 12. Impressive quality given massive production.
Kevin,
A little sweeter on the finish but quite good
guest,
Very smooth, rich honey and oak flavor.
guest,
Amazing taste. Classy.
guest,
Smell is very fruity. I especially like how it feels when you first sip it.
Matthias,
Always got one bottle in my bar.
guest,
Good drink for having conversations with friends or loved ones. Have it neat or with few ice cubes to explore the complex flavors.
guest,
This was my introduction to whiskey and still remains a favourite
Randy,
Bang for the buck on of the best 15 year. Better than older glenfiddich's
