Whisky.com tastes the Glenfiddich 15 years Solera.
The "Solera" is a special procedure to mature sherry in Spain. The same procedure is carried out at Glenfiddich. Also for this bottling there are also fresh casks as well as ex-sherry casks.
The nose:
vanilla, fruit and a hint of spice
The taste:
very spicy, very strong and dry fruitiness
The finish:
Long and enduring

Just finished a glass. Absolutely love it. One of my favorites and at an astounding price point.
''Luening, Horst Luening.'' This guy is the James Bond of whisky tasting👌👌👌👌
This is an outstanding whisky. I'd actually rate it higher than the 18. Simply incredible. Definitely recommend this.
I have to agree and for some reason I do prefer the 15 more than thr 18 year.
I wonder if anyone else shares the same experience, but for me the 18 almost felt too 'charred' which removed some complexity.
I find the 15 to be the perfect balance between a softened edge compared to a younger 12 but still full of character in comparison to thr 18.
Also my favorite "go-to" scotch. affordable and easy to drink. always delicious
Exceptional whisky, full of flavour and depth, very enjoyable. Cheers!
drinking this while watching your review on it. Keep up the great reviews@!
My favourite 'affordable' whisky. Love it.
Fk y
I wash my toilet with it
@@MaviNK Wow, so edge.
@@MaviNK loser
@@jamescampbell5734 it’s only cause he cant hold it down🤷♂️😜
Just tried their Travel Exclusive Perpetual Vat 3 - 15 year, non-chill filtered, 50.2% abv
Absolutely wonderful.
this is exceptionally good value - highly recommended
I get vanilla and sweet apricots on the nose, with some definite coffee and bitter dark chocolate on the palette. The finish is smooth and long. The chocolate develops more and more on the finish. Very nice scotch.
One of the best whisky I ever had...
Try the 15 year old Distillery Edition if you can find it. One of my favourites!
really delicious and priced really well!
solera method also leaves a certain amount left behind so u always have old whisky getting mixed in.
Interesting review. my opinion: Nosing is great, fruit, fresh. The tasting is a bit dryer to me, which makes me still preferring the 12, the one that got me into the whisky hobby.
Well done!
Wonderful!
Thank you Mr. Lüning, can you please also review the 14 year old?
Great video, and a very tasty malt.
Educational fun video nicely review
7:49 mhhhhhgfrrgghhmmm fruitiness. Cracked me up
I really like the 15 year old solera. It I could only afford one single malt for every-day dram, it would be this. It's quite rewarding, and I find it much smoother than the 12. My every-day blended scotch dram would have to be JWBL.Luckily, I can afford more than one choice, but if pressed to drink only, I would be satisfied with this as my single malt.
Good stuff this very smooth ☺️
My favourite Whiskey
Thank you for being my guide through these drinks. I've only tasted low end and Black label, but in a few weeks I'll be buying myself something good.
Recomend aberfeldy 12yr or glengoyone the 12 is reely nice and better and better with more age
@Lord Sathanus do you like black label?
Just bought this whisky for my brother for Christmas. I hope he likes it.
Tomorrow i gona open also one. Hope its really good :D
How much length of time this three different oak matured whisky in the huge solera Vet? please!
Had one of these with me when visiting my family in Sweden, it disappeared quickly in-between the sauna and hot tub.
I find only some of your reviews are available in English. I wish you would do all your reviews in English which I value and enjoy.
Your reviews are great Horst. The 15 is my go to whisky. smooth and comforting. Cheers from cape Town
Dog julle drink net wyn daar ini kaap.
@@stefanvzyl6275 Glad nie Stefan...:)
These videos are great, Horst! I've had the Glenfiddich 12 and 18 year old and love them both. Currently waiting on my 15 to arrive, then I'm off to try the 14 (American Exclusive) and then the 21. Do you have a favorite Glenfiddich?
Bassistking On scale 1-10 how much you preferred the 18 over 12?
I am not a fan of the 12 yo but this one is on my mind if i should buy a bottle and try it out? Anyone who can say if they had have a zip of this and what they think about it?
Thank you for your reviews. I find them very entertaining and especially helpful. After having started with Johnnie Walker Red then Black Lable, I then started with the Glenfiddich malts. I started with the Glenfiddich 12 and then the 15 year old (Solera). Once I'm finished with the Solera what is your suggestion on another single malt I should consider trying next? Thanks in advance! - Sam :)
I would move forward with the Glenfiddich 18yrs, as long as it is still affordable. And it is very satisfying to taste two or more different bottles in parallel. But be sure to finish all bottles in 12 months time. Otherwise there is a small chance, that the whisky may be influenced through oxidization. Glenmorangie, Balvenie and Aberlour may also by single malts which should fit into this range.
Probably you may be interested in smoky whisky as well? It is a completely different experience. Try to find a miniature first. Otherwise you may be frustrated if you do not like this kind of whisky at all. Laphroaig 10yrs or Ardbeg 10yrs may be a very intense starting point. If you do not like them - then you know, that smoky whisky is not yours.
Aberfeldy 12 is a reely good choise
I know it's been 3 years but i love johnnie walker back label. Its very flavorful
Lovely whiskey
I really can't detect any vanilla in this. It's mostly dried fruit, toffee, faint honey, and very faint spice.
Just got me a bottle for the second time!
I can't find vanilla, but butterscotch. Delicious.
Since they use the solera system, does anyone know how old the oldest whisky in the cask could be? With rum, when they use the solera system they often give you the actual range. For example, Zacapa 23 uses the solera system, and has rum ranging from 6 to 23 years old. So this Glenfiddich is 15 to ? (I'd love to know)
I heard that the last time they fully emptied their solera vat was 1996, making the oldest possible molecules 26 years old (or 24 when you wrote this lol)
i got a definite nettle herb taste in this whisky and a creamyness near the end nice smooth whisky 🥃 enjoyable.
4:22...Horst trying to call us tight-fisted! 😂 🏴
@Whisky.com
Herr Horst Lueing
I am brand new to and completely inexperienced with Whisky.
What would be your advice on which Scottish Whisky
I start with FIRST as a good (albeit, baseline or "neutral") starting point??
Have u tried a whiskey before? If not then id start with a Glenfiddich 15,14 or a Cragganmore,Dalwhenie if you want something rather aromatic sweeet. If ud like to try something peatier id suggest the Talisker Destillerie Edition or a Lagavulin 16. If you want blended whiskey id start with a Johnnie Walker Gold or even Black if u dont want to spend like 50€+.
Michele Giuseppe Iurlo
Thank you.
What's the better blend, this or the Johnny Walker Green Label?
This is not blend
Nothing less than rocket science technique to understand the flavors just by smelling
is not hard at all, you just have to smell and taste a lot
@@felipeherrera6507 not too much don't want to become an alchoholic.
The 12 year old is fantastic. 2020 on lockdown I've got the 15 year old solera reserve , had it for 3 years so thinking of opening it but Googled it first. .....the anticipation.....☺
How did it go?
@@alfonsoospino5726 haha well the review was that good that I decided not to drink it on my own during lockdown. So I opened a miniature of 12 year old fiddich and wait till this is over and enjoy with friends.
am a beginner scotch. I would like to be on Sweet Taste scotch side,,at mid range $$$ score around 90 ... any recommendations Please ?. CHEERS. Greatly appreciate it
I have purchases a bottle of Bunnahahha 12 yes, but have not open it yet. Thanks for great details reviews.
The Macallan 25 years old sherry oak is a good start
@@gauchoteixeirinha5122 yeah if you've got a few dollars spare 😆
Ich bin aus Deutschland. Ich liebe den Englisch akzent ;-D aber gutes Video!
I’ll take glendronach 12 over glenfiddich 15, but definately a crowd pleaser. Bottles of glenfiddich 15 dont last in my house
dangerously good whiskey, will end up drinking too much of it and regretting it lol
This is how you'll sound like when you drink whiskey all the time. :)
IMO they ruined the 15 when they started finishing it in sherry casks, tastes like fabric softener now!
Wannilla mmmmmmm
😂😂😂
I went from the 12 year old from this and I was disappointed. Not because it isn't good but because this doesn't have the appeal to me like the 12 year old had. I liked the fresh character of the 12 which is not there in this one. It is great but I just simply prefer the younger one.
Horst doesn't finish his glass. Means this one isn't that good 😁
Ian Chan I was totally thinking this 😂 When it gets the ol’ triple-sip, you know you gotta buy it
Literally just tried my first dram and it's act delicious!
lol yeah😆 ,..no it's worth trying, it's a nice dram
Description alone makes me think GF took a shot at bourbon
Im drinking the 12 year old now, still happy with your Tesla?
They are worth 100 Billion . $$$$$
If you don't finish it, I feel like you don't like it.
@Horst scorched = verbrannt; better than 'burnt oak' scorched oak
I really enjoy it. One double every night.
Move the mic away from your mouth! Nobody wants to hear every movement of your tongue, every swallow and swish of spit in your mouth. Otherwise good stuff.
no they do
Bought this 2 months ago.. Not impressed at all. Not even close to as smooth as you would expect for 15 yr scotch...
Well I just opened a bottle of this today. Had my first glass.... I have to say, this stuff is beautiful. So crisp and smooth on the palate. So comforting. This is the best whiskey I've had so far, 9.5/10. Actually having a hard time imagining a whiskey that's better than this.
