Whisky.com reviews the Glenfiddich 40 years old. This specially hand selected whisky was matured in American oak and European oak. It is a very nice individual bottle from the independent company Glenfiddich. There are only 506 bottles on the market.
The nose:
Very complex, dark fruits, dark ripe cherries, a bit of leather, coffee, dates.
The taste:
Very aggressive oakiness complimented by dark fruits, raisins and some dark chocolate. But still very smooth and round.
The finish:
Long and complex

You know its fire when Horst has a third sip
Yep, it's always the ultimate guarantee.
yep, I always keep an eye on if he finishes the glass. That where I take a hint.
The original ASMR channel.
I found out how he can afford these whiskies, he's a bond villain of some sort! a lovable german accented bond villain.
Ha ha ha
The Bob Ross oF scotch, I love this guy.
Best description
I find it ridiculously satisfying to watch Horst smell and taste whiskey. Thanks for the insightful vidoes!
Agreed, I’m not even a drinker, just watching reviews cause I’m buying my dad some fancy booze for the holidays…but yeah, I could watch this guy drink all night, lol
Does this guy have a microphone in his mouth?
one of the best comments i have ever seen!!!!!
Ahhahahahahha I’m dying hahaahhhahahaha
Yeah but his voice is so pleasant idgaf
I honestly can’t handle these videos because of it, very knowledgeable but kerrist on a bike.
I didn't know what you were referring until he starts to swoosh the scotch in his mouth.... WTF
You may have the best job in the world :)
Thanks. I like my job as well.
+Whisky.com Understatement of the year.
+Whisky.com the only rival for best job is the master taster for High Times, lol.
@@thewhitestboogieman6552 Master... taster ?
@@DrinkWater713 Yes, that's correct.
This guy is a legend
the reaction when he noses' ! amazing :)
Unintentional ASMR
I could never afford to buy a bottle of this gem - however, just watching your brilliant review is equivalent to sipping this masterpiece! Thanks Horst! :-)
When my father died we held his wake in a hotel in Inverness and my step brother bought me a dram and I really enjoyed it so asked for another. I later found out it was Glenmorangie Pride 1974. It was £170 for a single. Delicious though!
A fly has stolen some of your 40 year old Glenfiddich at 7:09
I heard they put one in every bottle to keep the aroma going. for when people open it.
And it's not your average fly, its from the Scottish slopes. These are raised by Glenfiddich just for the 40 year old.
The one you saw was number 536
i dont even drink but i love watching these. you can tell he is passionate about whisky
What do you drink? Horses?
Well sir, I have to admit that your knowledge regarding the English language is amazing. I recently started studying the Cambridge method in order to master the English language, but I wonder what or who caused you to speak this language so fluently.
As for the Whisky, you seem to catch my interest as well. Thanks to people like you I would like to try more kinds of whisky every time I get the opportunity to do so.
I love what you do and how you do it, vielen dank
This guy would be hilarious to parody in an SNL skit. LOL!
Can you imagine Dan Akroyd exaggerating the “nose” and “palate “ segments with ridiculously loud inhalations/exhalations and protracted mouthwash noises?!?! LMAO!!
It would be even an Awesome parody, if they invite Horst himself and do it. Just like Barry Gibb got invited to Jimmy Fallon and JT doing that comic skit show... I wish it would happen....
Beautiful drop I live at Newcastle Australia I paid $40 per shot mind you I had half dozen shots and I was gorn your on point with your opinions my friend and I love your work
Thank you for your review my dad and i Love Glenfiddich
Mr.Horst..your narrative and the brands you review is very expensive and top of the world..
Lucky man..be happy
He got a bit excited on this review. This guy is something else, I love it.
My guy is a beast!! The bob ross of whiskey.. good man!
This guy is so intense it's awesome😂 str8 out of a movie
LMAO!!!
Now that's how to appreciate old whiskies!
Thank you for sharing the momentous occasion with 150,000 lucky folks.
You make it sound so good when you’re sloshing it around then describing it. I’m more of a bourbon guy but this scotch sounds good.
tasted this at the birmingham whisky festival. Beautiful whisky
Hi Horst! When you finally doing "Glenfiddich 30"??? Please!!!
I envy you. Excellent review. cheers.
Had the wonderful opportunity to try this whiskey mixed with some root beer it was a dream.
"Polished Leather" I love scotch, but that's one I haven't yet smelled, lol!
spacecowboy2k it’s 40 years old! On a side note crown royal tastes like furniture polish, or at least how I imagine it.
You're my idol, Horst.. Lagavulin 16 is my fav single malt whiskey... i wish you taste Finnish 10yrs single malt, Teerenpeli whiskey.
Oh my goodness 40 years glenfiddich. lucky man
What a nice colour this one have. Very dark.
Color is unfortunately easily faked with caramel, though this is obviously not the case.
I love whisky and whiskey too.
I am so jealous! The best job.
I loved the review and loved you in the Silence of the Lambs 💯👍🏽
Watching this 9 years later and this bottle is now $5,000. How I wish I could have grabbed this bottle at only $2,000. I wonder which whisky's I could grab today that will triple or more in price in a decade.
Nice video!
yea he does
shouldn't you wait for at least 20 min after pouring for the whiskey to open up and start breathing?
I’ve had the GF 12,15,18 & 21. I thought the 15 was the best until they ruined it when they went to the purple box. Tastes like fabric softener now.
Holy mother of god.... you guys must seriously be multi millionaires to be able to afford buying bottles like that lol
He and his family runs the most successful shop for whisky in Germany since 30 years 😂
He don’t buy this bottles himself
@7:10 is that a fruit-fly ?
What is the most expensive whisky that you have reviewed here? Great review BTW
Bowmore black
Wow impressive
Did he buy that whisky or how did he get that whisky ?
Man, this should be a killer whisky!
Had a bottle of this 40 yr old. Mixed with some sprite. Wasnt bad.
Verge Cryptocurrency why would you mix something so aged... ruining it
😂😂😂
Q Nguyen he’s joking, god don’t people get humour on here
Whatevs youd probably mix such a drink aswell.. But with coke instead
you can do that? I always used to pour the brown smelly liquid in the toilet before placing the bottle in my empty bottle collection. I will try the sprite thing next time
Wonderful fabulous fantasious pleasant video
"ya, I will finish this glass" LOL! you bet you will
Another item to add to my IGR list
This bottle now in 2022 is worth £29.000
this must be the happiest job in the world!
I would love to see my noob friends try to swish booze in their mouths like this guy.. it's pretty damn impressive.. especially if you have done this and know the heat and pressure that this brings to your palate.
Quite a price tag ! Off course it's top quality ( I think ) and hope so if you bought it ; )
Age is not the ultimate statement off good whisky! It's a fact ,can be great but is it worth the price?
Hell I'm just jealous haha
It was definitely worth the price. We do by it from the producer or importer. So my price is a bit lower.
"The price of this bottle is extraordinarily high, about $2,000" - Move forward 5 years and say that.
Just bought one today at a cheap price of 2500€
Or just check the price in Au today.
About $5 - $5.5k
50 year selling for $48,000 🥵🥵🥵
Did u get it for free cause the numbers didn’t match?
what s your best whisky you have never taste and your favorite whisky??
Barry Lab lagavulin 16 for the favorite not the best i have never taste i think
Wonder if it's wrong that my mouth watered when he took his first sip.
wrong but legitimate... ;-)
I like the case very posh and do you know where I can get this and what country do you live in because you say you only deliver to your country
he's based on germany
Yes we only do ship inside Germany.
In late July 2023, Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Speyside, Scotland:
Avg Price (ex-tax)
$ 5,372 / 750ml
Very nice Rolex Submariner. With date? or without?
+Donald McCormick (IrateLumberjack) Definitely a date. you can see the cyclops lens quite easily
Dang, I bet that bottle costed more than a modern car! I can only imagine the taste on that!
TheNineDivides Costs as much as an IPhone 11 , but not as much as a car.
@@malcolmdomhnallach3638 was it that cheap a few years ago? It’s $6k for a bottle here in Canada
Please do one on 30 😀
I bought 12 bottles of this I like it first thing when I wake up. Very good go to wiskey !
Have you ever dropped and/or broken one of the expensive, rare cask releases? What some could call alcohol abuse! ;)
what are dark fruits?
Andrei Amodia Photography blackberries/blackcurrent etc
Glenfiddich is the best of the whiskys the world
Looks and sounds delicious. Is it ok to be a little jealous? LOL
Yea sure.
looks shaaaaaarp
His cracking laughter at 5:31 is equal parts funny and involute...he should voice a nature documentary someday
I received
sherry sherry ladyyyy
This legitimately gave me a softie
I love Horst's reviews, but I have to say the "swishing" sounds are a bit off-putting.
Came here from the video where Horst tastes Fireball haha
How much
MrHotass81 I've bought a bottle of this for 1.950 dollars .
Kiko H1ghest no you didn't haha why lie to everyone
30k a bottle....
A fly led me to the comments :)
"the 30-yr bottle was 200 something"? man, what year is that, I would buy for sure ....
I have a big colection for you
what? polish leather?
Polished leather.
I don't drink at all but mouth I'd watering and I'd love to have a long sniff.
Ummm this would taste great with some coke , soda and lemon , topped with ice
Debavi LMAO!
Best to bolt the whole bottle in one go, then try to explain the flavour. 😉
#WhiskeyGoals
@6:20 borderline fetish. Must be one hell of a bottle.
im weak
The whiskey is DARK!
I found this whisky on my local store and I really shocked when asking the price. It's around $7,7k. I gave up and just bought jack daniels for $69. Lol
Willy Kho just a regular bottle of no7???
it was you? lol you literally spoke to me in the shop, I had a nice giggle that someone considers Glenfiddich 40yo and leaves with JD for 1/100 of the price hehe. Hope you enjoyed it though.
Makers 47
I feel like a stogie after this.
Do not listen with head phones!!!
That's a $4,500 bottle...
You're missing an entire digit there lmao
Did.he drunk
He drank about one hundred dollars just in one glass so you have to hide that key..lol
No way....I’d say $50 worth. Lol!
Did anyone catch this guys name?
nope no idea mate i'll have to keep checking
5.33 lol🤪
I lost the key, I can’t drink...
this guy's voice reminds me of the the glasses wearing nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark
They are the same person
