Matthew,
Sweet and delicious. If the flavors came through to the nose like they do the palate, this would be a ten.

Marcus,
Below 18, and Glenfiddich is not that great.
 
Lynn
Lynn,
Oh my. Nicely peated and just floats. Soft finish.
 
Eduardo
Eduardo,
Beautiful amber color. Plenty of fruit notes like apple, a bit of raisins, oak, vanilla and honey. In the mouth some spices appear with sweet notes of honey and a long and smooth aftertaste.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Very smooth. Not to over powering.

Aash,
Found this bottle to be very spicy for my taste. Would recommend for a cold night or an evening in a log cabin.

Dennis,
Glenfiddich has been the most popular name in the single-malt world, and for good reason. The 18-year is another example of the brand’s smooth and crisp qualities. A more prominent sherry-influenced dram than its younger counterparts, the dried fruit and nutty notes hit the nose and tongue at first, but the brand’s core notes of caramel, white fruit (red apple in this case), and soft vanilla soon take over, leading to a quick and somewhat dry finish. A good dram to be sure, but I can’t help that I find better complexity in younger (and less expensive) whiskies. If you’re a fan of Glenfiddich, you won’t go wrong in picking this up. If you are looking for an 18-year whisky that lives up to its age, look elsewhere.

Very soft on the nose. Fresh squeezed oranges and fruit. Caramel and vanilla on the tongue with a short finish.

Not really much to it "BORING." Smooth but lacks complexity and low abv, you can find much better for less monies.

Chris
Chris,
I'd go as far as to say that this whisky is the finest of their regular range. It completely outshines the 12 and 15. Extremely smooth, sweet, an archetype of what Glenfiddich is trying to reflect. However, in order to gain an appreciation for it, you have to drink the other two in succession and compare it to other 18 year olds. That, and be willing to shell out the money for it; at that point, it loses its attractiveness.

The 18 is a staple for any bar. Any of the single barrel "Glen's" you can't go wrong with. This one in particular, with its neighbor Tomatin 18 are equals in my book, just one is by far less expensive then the other!
 
Ryan
Ryan,
The 15 year is equally as enjoyable, if not better, at a lesser price.
