I can't understand the Glenfiddich haters. This is the company that started marketing single malt whisky in the 1960s, built the first visitor's center at their distillery and their whisky is highly approachable. The 18 year old version has a fruity nose, with some citrus and sherry. The taste is smooth and quite thick and chewy (for a 40% ABV whisky). Fruit and caramel at first, which gives way to oak. The finish is drying with leather and tobacco notes and long. Wood has the upper hand over spirit but still in balance.
