Thanks to /u/xile_ for pouring this for me.

I’m not the biggest Glenfiddich fan boy. Yes, the 18 has a special place in my heart, however I’m not constantly hunting down Glenfiddich to try.

That said I have been hunting downGlenfiddich Snow Phoenix. I had a chance to have a pour, however not being the biggest Glenfiddich fan I passed. Snow Phoenix sounded too much like a certain blend set of whiskies that I can pass on.

Suffice to say I’m dumb, and it ran out at that bar quicker than beer at a pretzel fest.

Showed up to a tasting and was told I’d be trying a mystery. I had no idea what it was. Let’s see how it was blind, shall we?
