Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Whisky

Glenfiddich 15 Year Old “Our Solera Fifteen” is a richly layered Speyside single malt, matured in American bourbon, Portuguese sherry and virgin oak before being married in the distillery’s never-emptied Solera Vat (kept half full since 1998). Expect warm spice, honey-rich fruit and velvety depth — an elegant, gift-worthy dram with signature Glenfiddich finesse.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Sweet heather honey and vanilla fudge on the nose with rich dark fruits. The palate is silky and full-bodied, revealing sherry oak, marzipan, cinnamon and ginger over creamy malt. A satisfyingly rich finish lingers with baking spice, subtle oak and a gentle sweetness.

Craftsmanship & Story

Family-owned since 1886, Glenfiddich pioneered single malt’s global rise and continues to innovate with precision. The 15 Year Old marries whiskies from bourbon, sherry and virgin oak into a purpose-built Solera Vat — never emptied and kept half full since 1998 — to harmonise flavour. The result is a warmly spiced, honeyed Speyside classic with depth beyond its years.

Special Features

Tri-cask maturation (ex-bourbon, sherry, virgin oak) builds complexity; the Solera Vat technique creates remarkable consistency and silkiness. Expect orchard fruit sweetness, baking-spice warmth and a luxurious texture that appeals to both newcomers and collectors.
