Glenfiddich 50 Year old Scotch

Now I love a good single malt on occasion (remember the great Greg Nice who once said “too much of anything makes you an addict“), but I can’t say that my knowledge is vast on the subject of fine Scotch-Whiskey. One thing I do know is that a 50 year old single malt is not something you can generally pick up in your local wine and spirits. Scotland’s legendary Glenfiddich is all set to release their latest 50 year old blend, which they describe as “initially sweet with a zesty orange marmalade and vanilla toffee, which then cascades through a wonderful series of layers: aromatic herbs, floral and soft fruits, silky oak tannin and hints of gentle smoke. The finish is exceptionally long with a touch of dry oak and the merest trace of peat.” Sounds great right? Well here’s the catch, it’s only available by the glass at 3 hotels: New York’s Mandarin Oriental, Miami’s Fontainebleau, and the Peninsula hotel in Los Angeles. The one bottle that is available for purchase will be auctioned off on December 7th, and you probably can’t afford it. You can check out more details and the entire Glenfiddich line-up here
