Glenfiddich 16 Aston Martin

I detect a distinct white wine scent with sweet, crisp red apple. I'm tasting the bourbon, but thankfully it's subtle. It has a mouthfeel akin to carbonated wine, but without the fizz. Strange, I know. Yet, it's smooth, almost fruity, with that peppery scotch kick. I'm not sure why, but this is far superior to the Dalwhinnie Distiller's Edition... and I genuinely enjoy Dalwhinnie. Evaluation based on sipping it neat.

I don't usually go for limited editions, but this one was quite delicious. It's not better than the 15 YO, but it was pleasantly rich and smooth, more of a pleasant drink than a serious one.

This is a very light and easy-drinking spirit with good depth. It has a pleasant sweetness and a nice balance of oak, vanilla, and barley. An excellent choice if you favor bourbon-aged scotch, a truly solid sipper.

A huge improvement over the standard 12 year. It offers light toffee, plenty of biscuit and vanilla, a trace of fudge but not like Jameson Triple. It's good, but not worth the price.

Having a special Aston Martin edition was enjoyable, but it wasn't much different from the standard 14 year. Perhaps a bit smoother.
