Comments: 

Old Glenfiddich, the oldest in the official range. Lots of pear, but it's overlaid with plenty of sherry influence - raisins, chocolate, etc. There's a slight bitter note that's also fragrant, definitely coffee here. Overall a decent whisky, but somehow tastes younger than it is.

Verdict:

I like this.
