Whisky review : Glenfiddich ''Rich Oak'' 14 years old bottled @ 40%

Whisky review : Glenfiddich ''Rich Oak'' 14 years old bottled @ 40%

-Classic Glenfiddich bottling
-40%...sad....so sad
-New American and Spanish Oak

Colour: bright gold-copperish, medium bodied, a tad oily.

Nose: Fresh cut apples, candied apples, hot metallic-spices-Sherry notes, like a Chilean wine, mineral oils (reminds of me a Vinia Tondonia Cosecha 1995), some kind of light ointment, 

Mouth: Boom...spicy wood notes, very mineral, the metallic-ointement-creamy notes...so interesting ! unlike any Glenfiddich I've had (12 - 15 - 18). Very fresh, intense minerals notes, touches of spices, creamy green apples, peaches, apricot. Quite impressive I must say. Coats the mouth and develops this mineral-oak flavour...

Finish:  gets back to metal, but something very natural and raw, mineral notes, creamy fruits notes, acidic oak, perhaps wood sap (that might just the ''new wood'' coming through). Yet

A for the taste and quite possibly my favourite Glenfiddich out there.
A+ for the price. I paid 59.95$ (LCBO) for this, which I consider to be a superb whisky and thus a great investment.
B+ for the presentation. Yeah Yeah triangular....
