Any thoughts on this?

Hi all, My father in law was given this bottle as a gift many years ago and didn’t think of it anything. Whilst having a drink with him and looking through his collection of bottles (he has a mix of different spirits) I have found this, only caught my eye because of the Glenfiddich name on it.

I know it’s technically not scotch but given that it was made from one I wanted to know if anyone has tried this liqueur? And if it’s any good?

This was my grandads favourite pour and I used to enjoy a dram of it occasionally with him. It was discontinued in around 2010-2011. Last year I paid a ridiculous price for a bottle to have in my collection as a way of remembering him. Haven’t had a dram for a while, however it’s one of the richest liqueurs I’ve ever had. Creamy, spicy honey. Highly recommend having a dram where possible.

Thank you for your reply and the information. It sounds very interesting.

My pleasure. I’ve had a lot of whisky liqueurs over the years. This is hands down the best one I’ve tasted so far. I’d open that for a special occasion and enjoy a few drams

I’ve never had a whiskey liqueur so I can’t wait, told my father in law to only open it for a special occasion.

Think I've tried it and (if it's the same) loved it. It's not whisky though

I've never been a fan of whisky liqueur, so I would not open the bottle. Especially this one. It's a collectable, at least in Europe it is. It was discontinued around 2011. Not highly sought after, but sought non the less. The right buyer would lay down a good buck for the bang. At least in Europe

Thank you, I told my father in law to keep it although he wanted to open it. So I told him to open whenever there’s a special occasion.
