NOTES <\/strong>I remember when I showed my brother my whisky cabinet a few years ago, he made an observation that it was a shame that I didn’t keep the boxes that the bottles came in.\u00a0 He’s right.\u00a0 There are some really classy whisky boxes that I’ve come across over the years.\u00a0 I love boxes that have a wooden finish and there are also others that have great artwork and information about the distillery they originated from.\u00a0 That said, my whisky cabinet is absolutely chock full with 38 bottles and as long as I live in an apartment, I think convincing my wife to get a second cabinet solely for the purpose of displaying whisky is not likely to happen.<\/p>\n

Which is a shame because I was an absolute sucker for this sexy looking Age of Discovery Edition<\/em> of Glenfiddich which I picked up at the Duty Free in LAX.\u00a0 I’m pretty much the ideal mark for people that peddle this stuff.\u00a0 Just look at that sweet, sweet box design.\u00a0 The elegant colours.\u00a0 The nautical map.\u00a0 The foldout display.\u00a0 So glorious!<\/p>\n

Of course, inside, there’s a pretty excellent and tasty whisky too.\u00a0 Being a Glenfiddich means that you can rightfully expect a tasty whisky but also one that has an accessible taste for a broad range of people.\u00a0 Being a sweeter and milder whisky I think this is something that I could share with casual, non-whisky drinkers.\u00a0 This Age of Discovery Edition<\/em> was stored in Madeira casks which are typically used for sweet fortified wine so you get a nice, fruity, flavoursome taste.<\/p>\n
