WHAT: Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Dufftown, Scotland
WHY: The aspiring Scotch snob revels in tongue-twisting, tar-flavoured single malts made on godforsaken islands run by sheep. Having seen Glenfiddich in one too many duty-free shops, he (so often a he) feels it is just too – what’s the word? – popular? His loss. This smooth, spicy brown beauty is the very essence of reasoned whisky appreciation. We should all do our best to avoid the forces of marketing and bogus commemorations, but it should be noted that Glenfiddich 15 is on sale until Father’s Day.
PRICE: 750 ml/$57.95 (sale price)
AVAILABILITY: At selected liquor stores (product #605972)
