Glenfiddich Pure Malt Over 8 years 1960s Bottling 26fl oz

At first nosing. Lots of tropical fruit like mango and white fruit (yellow peach, gooseberry). Then a lot of kiwi – Nice hints of rhubarb as well… Great! Very nice woody structure that holds the whole together. In short, what a superb nose!

The mouth seems to be perfectly balanced. Strawberry and pepper. Passion fruit.

Quite long and very fruity finish. Very refined, very good.

Could it be an great old Rosebank? Or one of these old unsherried Bowmores? But it seems to be quite young, still… A little confusing. Or maybe a great Clynelish?… What? What do I hear? It’s a Glenfiddich? Holy sugar! Yes, it’s Glenfiddich ‘Over 8 years’ pure malt (43%, OB, 60’s). Alright… No wonder Glenfiddich’s got such a huge reputation worldwide!
