Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is available at Nicks for the fantastic price of $94.99 due to "scratch n dent" clearance. Lowest price I've seen on this.
As such products may have some damage to packaging. According to Nicks's "These may have split bottle seals exposing the cap or label damage. These are for drinkers, not collectors."
If you care about the packaging you can get it in pristine condition for $99.99 at Gooddrop plus delivery ($9 for NSW, ACT, VIC, $15 for QLD, SA, $20 for TAS, WA, NT). Frankly I usually through away the outer box and you could always decant it into a nicer bottle :)

Description from Nick's website below:
"While the twelve year old is a relatively non-descript malt, older Glenfiddich bottlings are now gaining high praise including one award as the world's best single malt Scotch whisky. However, as a representation of the house style, the 18 year old pretty much nails it. Always a centre-piece of the portfolio, the company has further emphasised its place by redesigning the packaging to give it a more superior look than its 12- and 15-year-old stablemates.
The Glenfiddich distillery lies on the river whose name it bears. 'Fiddich' refers to the fact that the river runs through a valley inhabited by deers – hence the company's logo which features a stag. A proportion of the whisky in this version of Glenfiddich is supposedly even older than the label suggests.
Tasting note: Deep gold colour. Moderate aromas include honey, clove and vanilla laced malt. On the palate, dried apricots and spice are augmented by soft peat, adding depth to the toasty malt. Plush mouth feel. Clean, dried fruit and spice finish. Rich and round, in the mainstream of Sherry influenced malts. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews… the smoke which for long marked this aroma, appears to have vanished…one of the most complex deliveries Speyside can conjure….long, despite the miserly 40% offered, with plenty of banana custard and a touch of pear; at the moment, the ace in the Glenfiddich pack. If this was bottled at 46%, unchillfiltered etc, I dread to think what the score might be. 95 points- Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2016
Luxe and easy-sipping. Look for enticing notes of butterscotch, baked pear, cinnamon and clove on the nose and palate, swathed in just the right amount of smokiness.
