Glenfiddich 18 yo | 40% | 21 + 21 + 21 + 21 = 84pts

T: Sweet apples, caramel, honey and candied dried fruit.
F: Salted caramel, chocolate and prunes and dried apricots.
B: One of the benchmarks of balance among the extremely adult releases. Good.

Color: bronze-gold.
ABV: 40%.

Nose: Assorted fruits. Here, and a fragrant grapefruit, and red sweet apples, pear and caramel carrot flavor with chocolate. [n22]

Taste: Fruit candy, apricot, sweet juicy pear, vanilla. [t21]

Finish: long, hot. Salted caramel and pear. [f20]

Balance: A very tasty drink, I immediately want to write about it. When pouring it into the sniffer, there was a feeling that you poured a slightly thick oil, but definitely not a "watery" drink. First tens of seconds in the aroma there is spiritness, which very quickly goes away. To the nose immediately rushes a whole fruit bouquet, led by apples and grapefruit. In taste, I would say the prevalent distinct pear, which is either replaced by apricots and candies. The aftertaste is bright, rich and bold. Caramel merges with the pear, a little salt is manifested. The price tag for the whole bottle is quite democratic. Here it is, my second bottle, which I add to my "must buy" list, after Old Ballantruan Peated Malt. Excellent. [b23]
