Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Glenfiddich 15 как мягкий, сладкий и лёгкий для питья виски с яблочными, медовыми и ванильными нотами и заметным влиянием древесины. Часть отзывов критикует слабую крепость 40% и недостаток тела.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов нос и вкус описываются через зелёное и спелое яблоко, грушу, мёд, ваниль, цитрусовые и сухофрукты (изюм, чернослив), нередко с оттенками специй, корицы, дуба и шерри. Несколько отзывов отмечают сладость, мягкость и лёгкость для питья, кремовую/маслянистую текстуру, а также яблочно-медовые и фруктово-древесные тона в финише. Ряд отзывов прямо сравнивает виски с 12-летним Гленфиддиком, называя его более насыщенным, «тёмным» и лучшим по телу.
Вместе с тем встречается и критика: слабая крепость 40% и «водянистость», нехватка тела и глубины, доминирование молодой/активной древесины, короткий или горьковато-древесный финиш. Единичные отзывы упоминают неприятные ноты (пластик, клей), а также сульфурные и «пластиковые» оттенки. Общей единой оценки вкуса тексты не формируют: наряду с похвалой многие считают виски простым и «стандартным», но при этом легко доступным и без явных изъянов.

Green apples, dark caramels, light honey malt, orange, milk chocolate and vanilla, slight spicy herbal finish . Easy sipping and good cask use without overpowering the whisky
Inedible for me, maybe I was unlucky with the bottle.

The aroma of vanilla, green apple and cinnamon. It's a very standard flavor. The taste is vanilla, young wood, ginger tea. Aftertaste: apples, young oak, vanilla. Basically, it's a fairly mild drink, the 12-year-old was more alcoholic and hard. Classic taste for aging in bourbon barrels.
Nose: Almost doesn’t even smell like Scotch. Very sweet with a little smoke. Fruity and spicy. Vanilla present as well giving it a syrupy smell. Palate: As sweet as the nose. The casks smokiness is strong and blends well alongside the sweetness. Vanilla notes keep it smooth. Finish: Medium-long. Smokiness lingers and keeps it interesting. Oaky and sweet. Overall Score: 85. This is a delightful dram. Glenfiddich rarely disappoints me and the 15 certainly holds that to be true. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a Scotch that doesn’t try too hard to be bold. It’s a sweet one that is easy to relax with.
with water: in addition, citrus notes appear, the felling becomes stronger Conclusion: A malt without faults and faults, neatly balanced, only I don't like the New Oak impact, and a bit weak at 40%

Vertical tasting of the new 12, 15 18. 15 = 18 > 12 S 6 The palate from 15 performed much better than the 12. IMO this is a better entry to malt whisky if someone insists to start with Glenfiddich, the oak and malt are still very obvious in this while the body hugely improved from the 12. 71-80 - Drinkable, worth the experience at least

| Нос | 78 | Leafy red apples and oranges. Paper cardboard. Floral but somehow artificial. Barley sugar. The honey and pinewood came through at the base, slightly pungent. Something sweeter than the 12 at the back, probably the Sherry cask, juicy raisins. Slowly getting more vanilla. |
| Вкус | 82 | The malt is very pronounced here, much better mouthfeel than the 12. Mildly oily and creamy, though still watery. Marzipan. Very fruity. The sherry oak came through nicely with the support of honey, some caramel, and a handful of golden raisins. Warm spices and cedar wood add complexity to the mouthfeel. |
| Финиш | 78 | Short finish, drier than the 12. Oat biscuits. Just a touch of candied fruits lingering with oak tannin. Mildly bitter and floral. |

02/27/2025 - bottle I am trying to make my evaluations without taking into account the price paid here in Brazil, as I have noticed that our personal ratings can be used to later consider whether there is a cost-benefit in buying this or that bottle. For example, if an 80-grade whisky costs $10 and an 85-grade whisky costs $100, is it worth having a little more quality for a 1000% outlay? The Glenfiddich 15, unfortunately here in Brazil, is in this low cost-benefit category.

| Нос | 79 | Honey, propolis, wild flowers in the sun, dried cereals, crystal sugar, a very slight warm burn like chamomile tea sweetened with jataí bee honey. Vanilla, light young wood and non-citrus yellow fruits. Lots of honey, pollen and propolis, a touch of mint flower and a garden of medicinal plants. Hay, sweet malt, new bread with butter and sugar cookies. With water it released more vanilla, ambrosia, honey, malted cereals, ginger, light cloves and honeysuckle flower. The label revealed and lucky enough to have this beautiful bottle, let's go to the ice... Cloves, ginger, cereals, honey, light rhubarb, cinnamon sticks. |
| Вкус | 79 | No spice, malt, dry cereals, less honey than on the nose, more tannins from young wood. Thin and light, a slightly spicy alcoholic tea, like ginger and clove tea sweetened with honey or white sugar. With water, chamomile tea with ginger sweetened with fine honey from the jataí bee. Dry cereals, vanilla and active young wood. Tannic. With ice it tastes like iced tea with cinnamon, cloves and ginger sweetened with orange blossom honey. |
| Финиш | 77 | Medium to long, cereal, buttery biscuits, malt, tannins and light vanilla and honey sweetness. |
Un harmonious with too much active wood influences
84 / 100 Color: Light amber, dyed and chill filtered. AROMA - 21.5/25 There's a lot going on! Jam, dried fruit, marzipan, sherry, and aged wood, along with a touch of earthiness. There are raspberries, raisins, and a touch of vanilla. A very interesting, pleasant, and even "Christmas" base. TASTE - 20.5/25 Sweet and mature. Plenty of wood and earth with a hint of vanilla sponge cake with raspberries and cherries. Christmas compote, tanned leather, and well-hidden alcohol that doesn't overwhelm. FINISH - 21/25 It warms and lingers for a while with notes of tea and ginger. Overall, it's consistent with the flavor, complex, and could only be longer. BALANCE - 21/25 The first SM I received as a conscious whisky drinker, as a gift from my wife. She'd only need a few percent more strength to be completely happy, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't like it. A very good whisky for the price.
Matured in American and European barrels scented sherry.

May 2015. Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera. Pale orange. Aroma sherry, linen, mint. Taste is peppery spice and tingly tangy booze, touches of toffee. Fairly middling. A little water just softens the alcohol, maybe brings out some butteriness. (3.0/72) August 2018. Glenfiddich 15 Year Old. Malty butterscotch and toffee. Really easy going. Decent. 3.3/79 March 2019 - Aroma pleasant apple esters some subtle tangerine and peach, a little custard. Taste very clean and easy with subtle fruits up front giving way to a big salty punch, integrated oak, lovely spirit and lovely barrel character. Spicy woody linger gets maybe too harsh and bready over time, almost bitter. Good up front but that finish is perhaps too bitter. On the whole though, another decent Glenfiddich. (3.4/81)

Tried a previous batch a few years back and it lasted about 5 years opened and eventually ended up at a friend's place or infinity bottle. Not bad per se, but for the whole period retained an unpleasant alcoholic aggressiveness. Would've thought this to be hands down superior to the cheap 12, but it is not, at least with same amount of air exposure. Maybe batch variations, but stopped me getting another 15 Solera.

The Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve is something of a charming all-rounder among Speyside whiskies, offering significantly more depth and sherry notes compared to the very mild 12-year-old base: approachable, yet with enough depth to avoid becoming boring. The Solera maturation process lends it a slightly "rounded," almost creamy character that sets it apart from many of its contemporaries. Due to its moderate alcohol content and somewhat weak finish, it's not a showstopper on the shelf – rather the type that quietly impresses and then suddenly disappears.

| Нос | 84 | Sweet, fruity, and malty. Notes of heather honey, vanilla, toffee, and dried fruits (raisins, sultanas, apricot) dominate, along with subtle sherry and marzipan notes. Floral honey undertones are also discernible. . |
| Вкус | 82 | Full-bodied, smooth, and sherry-forward. The flavor reveals pronounced oak and sherry notes, complemented by vanilla, caramel/marzipan, cinnamon, and spice components (cloves, ginger). The texture is creamy and quite harmonious. The alcohol remains in the background due to the modest 40% ABV. . |
| Финиш | 79 | Long and sweet with a lingering finish. Dried fruit, honey, and caramel notes persist in the aftertaste. The finish is smooth, with renewed wood and spice aromas, and a touch of tannin. |
The star of the Glenfiddich core range. All the oaky character of the 12, with that extra layer on top adding fruit and spice.

Nothing overly complex or groundbreaking, but extremely approachable and beginner-friendly. It’s a solid, well-crafted dram that is virtually impossible to dislike. I'm looking forward to trying the Distillers Edition of this one day. I have a feeling that with a higher ABV, this dram could get really intriguing

It can be described as a reliable and beginner-friendly whisky. Its easy availability and high-volume production mean it's not easily dismissed. It's important to remember that there are more interesting whiskies at this price point, so it's not a "bad" whisky, just not a bottle to prioritize or consume regularly. Price-performance ratio: Medium, Medium-low Would I buy it again?: No, I wouldn't specifically look for it.

| Нос | 83 | Classic glenfiddich grassiness and green apple are at the base. On top, rich spice; cinnamon is the most prominent, “baking spices.” Poached pear. A light creme fraiche/custard note; not as full-bodied as custard, not as lactically acidic as creme fraiche. Toasted bread, lightly roasted coffee. The grassy note almost becomes like a hop distillate. Loaf of bread. A light quince dessert. A little orange zest. A decent nose, a little lacking in intensity, and can feel slightly “empty” in some places. |
| Вкус | 82 | On the palate, it's medium-low, if not low-bodied. It's somewhat reminiscent of cheap, light synthetic milk chocolates (Lindt being a case in point). The spices are again a subtle hint of black pepper, obvious cinnamon, and perhaps cloves and nutmeg in the background. Walnut, toasted bread, and a hint of hazelnut. A slightly below-average sweetness with a hint of cherry jam. Lotus cookie. Confit orange. Green apple and poached pear are much further back on the nose. It's decent, but lacks body. There's also a lack of depth, though not as much as some of its competitors. Despite all that, it's decent. |
| Финиш | 78 | It starts with a biscuit-like texture and then immediately transitions to whipped cream and poached pears. There's a hint of green apple peel, a bit of grape peel, red and pink grapes, and grape juice. Aside from that, the intensity is medium-low, and the length is short. Therefore, it's predictably lacking in some aspects, but there aren't any particular flaws. |
Had this as a "blind" tasting. I was only informed that is was from a big, scottish distillery. Guessed Speyside first, then narrowed down to Glenfiddich and then guessed 15 YO (have only tasted 12). So I guess this is unmistakably Glenfid-ish? The tasting notes are written blindly.

- an extremely drinkable delicious Glenfiddich - significantly better than the 12 J. - he has a little bit of everything but not enough of everything - nevertheless very pleasant and tasty, there can also be times the whole bottle will be gone very quickly ;-) - at around €40 a very fair price for a 15 year old single Malt, which also tastes good, so definitely worthwhile

I ordered the 3 tasting set from Glenfiddich, the 12, 15 and 18. Thanks to Glenfiddich for the opportunity to try a whole bottle before buying, which is also an advantage for Glenfiddich in that I wouldn't have bought a whole bottle of it anyway after tasting a Glenfiddich 12 in a restaurant, I was just curious about the older ones Expenditure. Of course, the same applies here as with the GF 18: thin, watery, young, although I don't notice the additional three years. 40% is simply not enough for this whisky.

Fine example of a Speyside, only critique is that a few more abv wouldn’t hurt.
Matured in ex-bourbon, European oak ex-sherry, and virgin American oak casks. Married in solera vat. Chill-filtered, coloured. Thick straight, slow narrower secondary legs. Richer and fuller bodied than the 12 YO. A drop of water emphasises lighter notes and reduces the darker ones.

The 2015 OA seamlessly continues the smoothness of the 2012 OA, but due to the significantly higher sherry content, it takes a completely different direction in terms of flavor. The nose immediately reveals red berries, which also dominate the palate. There's a hint of oak in the background, and I even briefly detected a touch of cinnamon on the nose once. A sherry bottling without any rough edges, which is very drinkable but also somewhat generic.

Compared to Glenfiddich 12 Year Old, I personally feel that this is an enhanced version of the 12 Year Old's characteristics. The alcohol, woody notes, sweetness, and fruitiness are more pronounced, but it doesn't have many other distinctive features. Notes date: 20210917
