When I discover something that I think is worth talking about I just have to share it with my friends here on B&B.
I discovered a somewhat unique kind of Scotch. It is Glenfiddich Scotch Solera Reserve. Solera is a process for aging liquids such as wine, beer, vinegar, and brandy, by fractional blending in such a way that the finished product is a mixture of ages.
They take 15 year-old Glenfiddich from ex-sherry casks, ex-bourbon casks, and also ex-bourbon casks. They then mix these into a giant “solera” vat that still contains whisky from previous batches, which have been mellowing together in the vat. Since the whisky in the vat is not contained in relatively small oak barrels anymore, it does not continue to “age” in the traditional way. The solera vat is never emptied more than halfway, which means there are theoretically molecules of whisky in each bottle of Glenfiddich 15 that were first put into the vat in 1998.
This is really good quality Scotch and it taste great as well. If you like Scotch you will love this stuff.
