Glenfiddich 18 yo

I forgot to take a picture of the bottle unopened like the others. But is was just gone after opening. So this empty bottle is all you get :p.

Also ignore the empty bottle of Guinness. It is not being reviewed lol.

Nose: the vanilla is more pronounced in this year but the vanilla is not a sweet vanilla, it's more of an essence of the flavor. Figs come out and other dried fruits.

Taste: a little more dry than the others but not to the point of bitterness just less sweet then the other years. A really tasty smokey peat comes out right away and some hints of sweet citrus(like oranges or something.) The vanilla comes through and signals the start of the development. Figs and dried fruits come out as well as a kind of a sweet grass taste. Mellows out with the smokey peat again with a sherry cask oaky flavor and lingers on your tongue.

I didn't get a chance to add water to it because I was enjoying it too much as it. If you use this to mix with anything, I will find you and slap you!! Then take you bottle and drink it right. I'll leave you a shitty low shelf bourbon whisky for you to mix all you want. If you can't enjoy this for what it is, you don't deserve it.

Would recommend I friends and family! If you love your dad, show it to him by getting him this.
Bottoms up!

Glenfiddich 15yo Solera reserve

I've been wanting to sample this whisky since I read about it a few days ago, but didn't think I could afford the $50 price tag (with my car in the shop and all.) As luck would have it, my local spirits and wine store had a sample pack of all three years for $15.99!! Oh yeah, you bet your sweet ass I got it!!

This is Gini from the Barrel House in El Paso Texas. She kicks ass and I only get my booze from her. Here is what I thought of the Glenfiddich 15yo. 

Nose: I got a hint of raisins at first. Then the smell of sherry comes through. It also has a light, smokey smell.
Taste: It starts right away with the sherry flavor and was surprisingly smooth. It begins to develop with a classy swagger. I got that taste of raisins I smelled, as well as dried fruits, followed by a smokey and woodsy flavor. Nothing about this was bitter nor overly sweet. It lingers for a while and smooths out nicely.
Adding a drop of water made it develop too fast and I didn't get to enjoy the flavors. But it did mellow out the alcohol without too much sacrifice. Mixing this with a soft drink, or anything for that matter, would be a shame and a waste of your money. Use something cheap and low shelf like Jack Daniels old no7 for that.
I would not recommend drinking cold or with ice, room temp is best or you will kill the aromatic flavors. I let it sit for 5 minutes so that it got the chance to open up.

I would most definitely pay $50 for a bottle, time and time again. I would recommend to my friends and family.
Bottoms up!!
