If Glenfiddich 15 is already your pour, the question you'll have is a simple one: is there anything that does what this does for less money? There is. The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 gives a Glenfiddich 15 drinker about 96% of what their own bottle does, and it does that for 75% of the price. That's the spine of the whole piece, so let's hang everything else off it.
None recorded.
