I know many of you have long graduated past the standard Glenfiddich 12 year, but earlier this May in Scotland, along with at our rooftop cigar event with William Grant this summer, I drank copious glasses of the flagship malt and I was pretty damn impressed. Given that the average boutique vodka or gin these days costs $30, to get the quality one finds in the Glenfiddich 12 for $34.99 is damn right incredible. I don't think anything else comes close.
This week, however, the kind folks at William Grant have upped the ante.
For an extra five bucks, you can now get 12 years of cask maturation PLUS an Amontillado sherry cask finish, and—let me tell you—that little enhancement takes this whisky to a whole new level. It still has all the maltiness of the classic 12 year in its core, but the mid-palate and finish are like biting into a flourless brownie that's been dusted with cocoa. And it's just $39.95 on our ad special right now. The question you need to be asking yourself now is: can you afford NOT to buy a few bottles of this?
